Etymology & Components

The Chinese word 良好 (liánghǎo) is composed of two characters: 良 (liáng) and 好 (hǎo). The character 良 originally meant "good" or "fine", and was often used in contrast to the character 恶 (è), which meant "bad" or "evil". Over time, the meaning of 良 expanded to include the idea of "goodness" or "virtue", and it is now often used to describe someone who is kind, honest, and hardworking. The character 好 (hǎo) originally meant "to like" or "to be fond of", and was often used in contrast to the character 厌 (yàn), which meant "to dislike" or "to hate". Over time, the meaning of 好 expanded to include the idea of "good" or "excellent", and it is now often used to describe something that is of high quality or that is pleasing to the senses. When the two characters 良 and 好 are combined, they create the word 良好 (liánghǎo), which means "good" or "excellent". This word is often used to describe something that is of high quality, that is pleasing to the senses, or that is morally good.
