The Chinese word 演讲 (yǎnjiǎng) for "speech" or "lecture" is composed of two characters: 演 (yǎn) and 讲 (jiǎng). The character 演 originally meant "to perform" or "to act", and it is often used in the context of performing arts such as drama or music. The character 讲 originally meant "to explain" or "to tell", and it is often used in the context of giving a lecture or making a speech. When these two characters are combined, they form the word 演讲, which specifically refers to the act of giving a speech or delivering a lecture.
