Etymology 3

Kanji in this term
けん
Grade: 1

Grade: 3
goon

Considering the date of first appearance and the apparent lack of any Chinese term 見事, this is probably a shift in reading from the native-derived kun'yomi of migoto to the Chinese-derived on'yomi of kenji, possibly to impart a higher register. Compare usage patterns in English for Germanic-derived terms (often considered lower-register) and their Latinate synonyms (often considered higher-register).
