The Chinese word 志愿者 (zhìyuànzhě) is a compound word consisting of two characters: 志 (zhì) and 愿 (yuàn). 志 means "aspiration," "ambition," or "will," while 愿 means "wish," "desire," or "aspiration." Together, the two characters form the word 志愿者, which literally means "one who has aspirations and desires." In the context of volunteering, 志愿者 refers to someone who willingly and voluntarily offers their time and effort to help others without expecting anything in return. The term emphasizes the individual's motivation and willingness to contribute to society or a cause they believe in.
