Etymology & Components

The Chinese word 深化 (shēnhuà) is a compound word consisting of two characters: 深 (shēn) and 化 (huà). The character 深 originally meant "deep" or "profound", but it has also been used to mean "thorough" or "detailed". The character 化 originally meant "to change" or "to transform", but it has also been used to mean "to develop" or "to improve". When these two characters are combined, they create the word 深化, which means "to deepen" or "to intensify". This word can be used in a variety of contexts, such as "to deepen one's understanding of a subject" or "to intensify one's efforts to achieve a goal".
