The Chinese word 过渡 (guòdù) is composed of two characters: 过 (guò) and 渡 (dù). The character 过 originally meant "to cross over" or "to pass through", while 渡 meant "to ferry across" or "to transport". When combined, the two characters form the word 过渡, which literally means "to cross over" or "to make a transition". In modern Chinese, 过渡 is used to refer to a period of change or transition, or to the process of moving from one state to another. For example, it can be used to describe the transition from a planned economy to a market economy, or the transition from childhood to adulthood.
