The Chinese word 结合 (jiéhé) is a compound word consisting of two characters: 结 (jié) and 合 (hé). The character 结 (jié) originally meant "to tie" or "to knot," and later extended to mean "to unite" or "to combine." The character 合 (hé) originally meant "to cover" or "to close," and later extended to mean "to join" or "to unite." Thus, the compound word 结合 (jiéhé) literally means "to tie together" or "to unite," and is often used in the sense of "to combine" or "to integrate." For example, the phrase 结合起来 (jiéhé qǐlái) means "to unite together" or "to join forces." The word 结合 (jiéhé) can also be used in a more abstract sense, to refer to the combination of two or more things that are not physically connected. For example, the phrase 思想结合 (sīxiǎng jiéhé) means "the combination of ideas" or "the integration of thought."
