The Chinese word 逐渐 (zhùjiàn) means "gradually" or "step by step". It is composed of two characters: 渐 (jiàn) and 续 (xù). The character 渐 means "gradually" or "step by step", while the character 续 means "to continue" or "to extend". Together, the two characters 逐渐 mean "to continue gradually" or "to extend step by step". This word is often used to describe a process that happens over time in a gradual and continuous manner. For example, you could say "他逐渐地学会了中文" (tā zhùjiàn de xuéhuìle zhōngwén), which means "He gradually learned Chinese".
