Etymology

**Yin** (noun) is a direct borrowing from the Chinese word *yīn* (陰), meaning “dark, shadowy, the passive or receptive principle.” The term entered French in the early 20th century through Western translations of Eastern philosophy, often via Japanese or English scholarship. It has no Latin or Greek antecedent; its usage has remained largely the same since its introduction.
