Etymology & Components

The Chinese word 会议 (huìyì) for "meeting" is composed of two characters: 会 (huì) and 议 (yì). The character 会 (huì) originally meant "to meet" or "to gather", and it is often used in the context of social gatherings or events. The character 议 (yì) originally meant "to discuss" or "to deliberate", and it is often used in the context of making decisions or reaching agreements. When these two characters are combined, they form the word 会议 (huìyì), which specifically refers to a formal meeting or conference where people come together to discuss and make decisions on a particular topic or issue.
