As a direct Newton- Maxwell solution we obtain for the particle's component wave- trains, of an angular frequency $\w$ and traveling at the velocity of light $c$, a translational kinetic energy $\eng=mc^2 $ and alternatively an oscillatory mechanical energy $\eng=\hbar^*\w$. $\eng$ amounts just to the particle's total energy and $m$ its inertial mass; $2\pi \hbar^*$ is expressed by wave-medium parameters and equal to the Planck constant. We further obtain the particle's (semi-empirical) de Broglie wave frequency $\w_d=\g \W (v/c)^2$, and wavelength $\lam_d=(2\pi/\w) v=(\Lam/\g)(c/v)$, etc., where $\g=1/\sqrt{1-(v/c)^2}$, $\g\W= \w$ and $\Lam/\g=\lam=(2\pi/w)c$. As to its origin, $mc^2$ represents an energy required for the particle to counterbalance a vacuum frictional force against the particle's total motion. Our proposal for origin of mass is in conformity with Higgs mechanism, but we work in real-space whilst Higgs in momentum- space. By our solution, to break up a building block of the vacuum--a bound p- and n-vaculeons of charges +e,-e, requires an energy $\sim 2 \times 10^{16}$ GeV, the scale of a Planck mass. \quad $*$Refs: J.X.
