The Chinese word 帮助 (bāngzhù) is a compound word consisting of two characters: 帮 (bāng) and 助 (zhù). The character 帮 originally meant "to help" or "to assist," and it is often used in the sense of "to give a hand" or "to lend a helping hand." The character 助 also means "to help" or "to assist," but it is more often used in the sense of "to support" or "to encourage." When these two characters are combined, they form the word 帮助, which means "to help" or "to assist." The word 帮助 can be used in a variety of contexts, and it is one of the most common words used to express the idea of helping someone.
