Etymology & Components

The Chinese word 关怀 (guān huái) is composed of two characters: 关 (guān) and 怀 (huái). The character 关 (guān) originally meant "to close" or "to shut", but it has also been used to mean "to care for" or "to be concerned about". The character 怀 (huái) originally meant "to hold in the arms" or "to embrace", but it has also been used to mean "to cherish" or "to love". When these two characters are combined, they form the word 关怀 (guān huái), which means "to care for" or "to show concern for". This word is often used in a context of showing care or concern for someone's well-being or happiness.
