The Chinese word 接近 (jìn jiè) is composed of two characters: 紧 (jǐn) and 接 (jiē). The character 紧 originally meant "tight" or "close," and it is often used in compounds to express the idea of closeness or proximity. The character 接 originally meant "to receive" or "to connect," and it is often used in compounds to express the idea of contact or interaction. When these two characters are combined to form 接近, the meaning becomes "to approach" or "to come close to." This word can be used in a variety of contexts, both literally and figuratively. For example, it can be used to describe the physical movement of one object towards another, or it can be used to describe the development of a closer relationship between two people.
