The Chinese word 研究 (yánjiū) is composed of two characters: 研 (yán) and 究 (jiū). The character 研 originally meant "to grind" or "to polish," and was often used in the context of studying or learning. The character 究 originally meant "to seek" or "to investigate," and was often used in the context of research or inquiry. When combined, the two characters 研 and 究 form the word 研究, which means "to study" or "to research." This word is commonly used in academic and scientific contexts, and can refer to the process of investigating a topic or problem in order to gain knowledge or understanding.
