Étymologie et composants

The Chinese word 公平 (gōngpíng) for "fairness" or "justice" is composed of two characters: 公 (gōng) and 平 (píng). The character 公 originally meant "public" or "common," and it is often used in words related to fairness and impartiality. The character 平 originally meant "level" or "even," and it is often used in words related to balance and equality. Together, the two characters 公平 convey the idea of something that is fair and just, where everyone is treated equally and without bias.
