The Chinese word 处理 (chǔlǐ) is composed of two characters: 处 (chǔ) and 理 (lǐ). The character 处 originally meant "place" or "location", but it has also been used to refer to "handle" or "deal with". The character 理 means "reason" or "principle", but it can also be used to refer to "manage" or "organize". When these two characters are combined, they form the word 处理, which means "to handle" or "to deal with".The word 处理 can be used in a variety of contexts. For example, it can be used to refer to the process of handling a problem or a situation, or it can be used to refer to the process of managing or organizing something.
