Energy is an accounting term in physics. Meaning that while it doesn’t really stand for anything, it can be used to balance the books so to speak to figure out what will occur given starting conditions.

Think about energy as dollars. What do dollars represent? Nothing! They aren’t backed by anything, however, they represent the ability to make purchases. They are super useful for accounting economic activity, but themselves aren’t anything.
