Explanation

The kanji and the word are exactly the same. That means they share meanings as well. You can put this on other words to say that it's a "Fierce ____" or "Energetic _____," or something along those lines. If you see this, you know that something is done fiercely or really energetically.

Reading

Explanation

The reading is the same as what you learned with the kanji, probably because it's stuck onto things making it all jukugo and such.
