The Chinese word 风度 (fēngdù) is composed of two characters: 风 (fēng) and 度 (dù). The character 风 originally meant "wind" but later extended to mean "manner" or "demeanor". The character 度 originally meant "to cross" or "to measure" but later extended to mean "degree" or "standard". When combined, the two characters 风度 literally mean "the manner or degree of the wind". Figuratively, it refers to a person's bearing, demeanor, or manner. In modern Chinese, 风度 is often used to describe someone who is elegant, graceful, or poised. It can also be used to describe the overall atmosphere or mood of a place or event.
