The Chinese word 发达 (fā dá) is a compound word consisting of two characters: 发 (fā) and 达 (dá). The character 发 originally meant "hair" or "to grow", but it has also been used figuratively to mean "to develop" or "to prosper". The character 达 originally meant "to arrive" or "to reach", but it has also been used figuratively to mean "to succeed" or "to achieve". When these two characters are combined, they form the word 发达, which means "to develop" or "to prosper". This word can be used in a variety of contexts, such as to describe the development of a country or the success of a business.
