The Chinese word 维修 (wéixiū) for "maintenance" or "repair" is composed of two characters: 维 (wéi) and 修 (xiū). 维 originally meant "to tie" or "to bind", and in the context of 维修, it refers to the idea of "maintaining" or "preserving" something. 修, on the other hand, means "to repair" or "to fix", and in this case, it refers to the act of restoring something to its original condition. Together, 维修 conveys the idea of "maintaining" or "repairing" something in order to keep it in good condition.
