The Chinese word 康复 (kāngfù) for "recovery" or "rehabilitation" is composed of two characters: 康 (kāng) and 复 (fù). The character 康 is composed of the radical 禾 (hé), which represents grain or crops, and the phonetic component 享 (xiǎng), which means "to enjoy" or "to receive." Together, they form the character 康, which originally meant "abundant harvest" or "prosperity." Over time, it came to be used more broadly to mean "health" or "well-being."The character 复 (fù) is composed of the radical 彳 (chì), which represents a step or a foot, and the phonetic component 覆 (fù), which means "to cover" or "to return." Together, they form the character 复, which originally meant "to return" or "to repeat." In the context of health and well-being, it came to be used to mean "to recover" or "to rehabilitate."When combined, the characters 康 and 复 form the word 康复 (kāngfù), which means "recovery" or "rehabilitation." It is used to describe the process of restoring health or well-being after an illness or injury.
