ego libido (English spelling) egolibido

Japanese: ego libido（英語表記）egolibido

...This libido also travels between the object and the ego. When the libido is directed toward a loved object, it appropriates the object and becomes the object libido, and when the object libido is withdrawn, it becomes the ego libido (narcissistic libido). Here, a certain amount of energy is assumed to move and increase or decrease, and the ego cannot tolerate the excessive accumulation of energy and turns toward the object.

From [Libido]

...But later, the instinct for self-preservation was thought to operate in conjunction with libido. The state in which libido is directed toward the self was called "ego libido" or "narcissism," and the state in which it is directed toward an object other than the self was called "object libido" or "object love." In his later years, Freud came to call "eros" (the purpose of eros is to create and maintain a gradually increasing unity.)
