Etymology 1

Kanji in this term
風	情
ふ Grade: 2	せい > ぜい Grade: 5
on’yomi

Probably from Middle Chinese compound 風情 (MC pɨuŋ d͡ziᴇŋ). Compare modern Chinese 風情／风情 (fēngqíng).

The reading uses the older goon of fu for 風 and the newer kan'on of sei for 情, suggesting either that this term underwent changes after importation into Japanese, or that it may have been re-imported.

Pronunciation

• On’yomi
  • (Tokyo) ふ​ぜー [fúꜜzèè] (Atamadaka – [1])[1]
  • (Tokyo) ふぜー [fùzéé] (Heiban – [0])[1]
  • IPA^(key): [ɸɯ̟ᵝze̞ː]

Noun

風情 (hiragana ふぜい, rōmaji fuzei)

1. taste; elegance
2. discernment; sophistication
3. appearance; outward attitude
4. (theater, noh) in noh theater, an actor's bearing, carriage, and gestures: body language

Suffix

風情 (hiragana ふぜい, rōmaji -fuzei)

2. (derogatory) the likes of ... (particularly when appended to a person's name)

Etymology 2

Kanji in this term
風	情
ふう Grade: 2	じょう Grade: 5
on’yomi

The older goon reading for both characters, so probably the term as originally imported from Middle Chinese.
