For full understanding of qigong, first of all, we should explain what does "qi" mean. 
It's a kind of energy that fills whole the universe. Every person, animal or plant have its own field of qi, field which tends to the state of stability, inside body as well as in relations with external world. Loss of this feature leads to diseases, death and disintegration.
Word "qong" we can describe as energy and time devoted to achieve of any purpose.
So term "qigong" we can understand as any learning or practicing related to qi that requires great longtime fetches.
