Etymology & Components

The Chinese word **分析** (fēnxī) for "analyze" is composed of two characters: **分** (fèn) and **析** (xī). The character **分** originally meant "to divide" or "to separate", and it is still used in this sense today. The character **析** originally meant "to explain" or "to interpret", and it is still used in this sense today as well. When these two characters are combined, they create the word **分析**, which means "to analyze" or "to break down into its component parts". This word is often used in academic and scientific contexts, but it can also be used in everyday conversation. For example, you might say **我正在分析这个数据** (wǒ zhèngzài fēnxī zhège shùjù) to mean "I am analyzing this data".
