Etymology & Components

The Chinese word 联盟 (liánméng) means "alliance" or "coalition". It is composed of two characters: 联 (lián), which means "to unite" or "to join", and 盟 (méng), which means "oath" or "covenant". The word 联盟 is often used to describe a formal agreement between two or more parties to work together for a common goal. For example, the United Nations is an international alliance of countries that have agreed to work together to maintain peace and security in the world. The word 联盟 can also be used to describe a less formal agreement between two or more people or groups, such as a business alliance or a political alliance.
