Etymology & Components

The Chinese word 配置 (pèizhì) is composed of two characters: 配 (pèi) and 置 (zhì). The character 配 originally meant "to match" or "to pair", and it is often used in the sense of "to allocate" or "to assign". The character 置 originally meant "to place" or "to put", and it is often used in the sense of "to arrange" or "to set up". When these two characters are combined, the resulting word 配置 takes on the meaning of "to configure" or "to set up". In the context of computers, 配置 is often used to refer to the hardware and software components that make up a computer system. For example, a computer with a high-end graphics card and a fast processor would be considered to have a good 配置.
