Crisis
危機
危=”danger” and 機=”opportunity”
It’s obviously not quite as clear cut as you asked for in your post, but a negative, a crisis, is made up of danger but also an opportunity (to develop and learn). I think it’s quite beautiful.
Not exactly what you’re asking, but 素敵 comes to mind. The first one is rather neutral (“origin”, “elementary”, “naked”) , but the second one, meaning “enemy” is clearly negative.
Together, the meaning becomes very positive.
Thank you guys !!
