The Chinese word 演出 (yǎnchū) is a compound word consisting of two characters: **演** (yǎn) and **出** (chū). The character **演** originally meant "to extend" or "to stretch out", and in the context of performance, it came to mean "to perform" or "to act". The character **出** originally meant "to go out" or "to come out", and in the context of performance, it came to mean "to produce" or "to present". Thus, the word 演出 literally means "to perform and present", which accurately captures the essence of a performance.It's worth noting that the word 演出 can be used as both a noun and a verb. As a noun, it refers to a performance or a show, such as a play, a concert, or a dance performance. As a verb, it means "to perform" or "to present", as in "演出了一场精彩的节目" (performed a wonderful show).
