The Chinese word 由于 (yòuyú) is a preposition that means "because of" or "due to". It is composed of two characters: 由 (yóu), which means "from" or "by", and 于 (yú), which means "to" or "at". The original meaning of 由于 was "to come from", but over time it has come to be used more broadly to mean "because of" or "due to".The character 由 (yóu) is composed of two parts: the radical 彳 (chì), which means "to walk", and the phonetic component 由 (yóu). The radical 彳 indicates that 由 is related to movement, while the phonetic component 由 gives it its pronunciation.The character 于 (yú) is composed of two parts: the radical 宀 (mián), which means "roof", and the phonetic component 俞 (yú). The radical 宀 indicates that 于 is related to buildings or shelter, while the phonetic component 俞 gives it its pronunciation.The combination of the characters 由 and 于 in the word 由于 creates a new meaning that is different from the meanings of the individual characters. 由于 is a versatile preposition that can be used in a variety of contexts to express the cause or reason for something.
