劲头 (jìn tóu) — enthusiasm, drive, zest (the energetic motivation to do something)

Définition

劲头 (jìntóu) is the energetic drive or enthusiasm someone brings to a task — more about personal motivation than physical stamina. Compare 精力 (stamina) and 干劲 (work drive): 劲头 is broader and less tied to work, often used with 十足 or 高.
