Etymology & Components

The Chinese word 进入 (jìn rù) is a verb that means "to enter" or "to go into". It is composed of two characters: 进 (jìn), which means "to advance" or "to move forward", and 入 (rù), which means "to enter" or "to go in". The word 进入 is first recorded in the Eastern Han dynasty (25-220 AD) in the book "Shuowen Jiezi". It is a commonly used word in modern Chinese and can be used in a variety of contexts. For example, you can say 进入房间 (jìn rù fáng jiān) to mean "to enter a room", or 进入学校 (jìn rù xué xiào) to mean "to enter a school".
