The Chinese word 课程 (kèchéng) is composed of two characters: 课 (kè) and 程 (chéng). The character 课 originally meant "to teach" or "to learn", and it is often used in the context of education. The character 程 originally meant "a journey" or "a process", and it is often used to refer to the progress of something. When these two characters are combined, they form the word 课程, which means "course" or "curriculum". This word is used to refer to a series of lessons or lectures that are taught on a particular subject. For example, a university student might take a 课程 in mathematics or history.
