The Chinese word 计划 (jìhuà) for "plan" is composed of two characters: 计 (jì) and 划 (huà). The character 计 originally meant "to calculate" or "to plan", and it is often used in words related to planning or calculation, such as 计算 (jìsuàn) "to calculate" and 估计 (gūjì) "to estimate". The character 划 originally meant "to draw a line" or "to divide", and it is often used in words related to drawing or dividing, such as 划分 (fēnhuà) "to divide" and 划线 (huàxiàn) "to draw a line". When these two characters are combined to form the word 计划, they take on the meaning of "to plan" or "to make a plan".
