The Chinese word 紧密 (jǐnmì) is composed of two characters: 紧 (jǐn) and 密 (mì). The character 紧 originally meant "to pull tight" or "to tighten", and it is often used to describe something that is tight, close, or compact. The character 密 originally meant "to weave closely" or "to make dense", and it is often used to describe something that is dense, thick, or crowded. When these two characters are combined, they create the word 紧密, which means "closely connected" or "tightly bound". This word can be used to describe a physical relationship, such as two objects that are tightly fitted together, or it can be used to describe a metaphorical relationship, such as a close friendship or a strong alliance.
