The Chinese word 成分 (chéngfèn) is composed of two characters: 成 (chéng) and 分 (fèn). The character 成 means "to become, to form, to complete," while the character 分 means "to divide, to separate, to distinguish." Together, these two characters form the word 成分, which literally means "to become a part of something" or "to form a component of something." In chemistry, 成分 is used to refer to the composition of a substance, while in mathematics, it is used to refer to the factors of a number. In a more general sense, 成分 can also be used to refer to the ingredients of a dish or the components of a system.
