The Chinese word 迎接 (yíngjiē) is composed of two characters: 迎 (yíng) and 接 (jiē). The character 迎 originally meant "to go forward to meet someone" and was often used in the context of welcoming guests or visitors. Over time, its meaning expanded to include the idea of "to receive" or "to greet". The character 接 originally meant "to connect" or "to join" and was often used in the context of connecting two things together. Over time, its meaning expanded to include the idea of "to receive" or "to accept". When these two characters are combined, they form the word 迎接, which means "to welcome" or "to receive". This word is often used in the context of welcoming guests or visitors, but can also be used in a more general sense to mean "to receive" or "to accept".
