The Chinese word **成人** (chéng rén) is composed of two characters: **成** (chéng) and **人** (rén). The character **成** originally meant "to complete" or "to achieve", and it is often used in words related to success or accomplishment. The character **人** simply means "person". When these two characters are combined, they create the word **成人** (chéng rén), which literally means "a person who has achieved completion". In modern Chinese, **成人** is used to refer to an adult, someone who has reached the age of maturity and is considered to be a full-fledged member of society.
