The Chinese word 发挥 (fāhuī) is composed of two characters: 发 (fā) and 挥 (huī). The character 发 originally meant "hair" or "to grow," but it has also been used to mean "to send out" or "to release." The character 挥 originally meant "to wave" or "to shake," but it has also been used to mean "to exert" or "to display." When these two characters are combined, they create the word 发挥, which means "to exert" or "to display." This word can be used in a variety of contexts, such as "to exert one's strength," "to display one's talent," or "to give full play to one's potential."
