可以想成心裡有一股往前推的力量——就是那種讓你願意早起去訓練、沒人盯著也還想繼續做下去的感覺。有時候我們指的是那股推力本身（也就是幹勁），有時候指的是啟動這股推力的東西（也就是理由）。From the word’s history
From Latin 'movere' meaning 'to move' (via 'motivus', moving/impelling): motivation is literally what moves you to act — the connection between the root and the modern core is very direct.
源自拉丁文 movere「移動、使動」（經 motivus「推動的」）：motivation 字面上就是「使你行動起來的東西」。這個字根和現代核心意義幾乎重疊——推你動起來的那股力量。
