The Chinese word 秘密 (mìmì) for "secret" is composed of two characters: 氵(water) and 秘 (mì), which means "hidden" or "secret". The water radical (氵) is often used in Chinese characters related to liquids or things that flow, while the character 秘 (mì) is composed of two parts: 糸 (sì), which means "thread" or "silk", and 韋 (wéi), which means "leather" or "hide". Together, these two characters suggest the idea of something that is hidden or concealed, like a secret message written on a piece of silk or leather that is kept hidden away.
