The Chinese word 扮演 (bǎoyǎn) is composed of two characters: **扮** (bàn) and **演** (yǎn). The character 扮 originally meant "to dress up" or "to disguise oneself", and it is often used in the context of acting or performing. The character 演 originally meant "to extend" or "to spread out", and it is often used in the context of performing or presenting something. When these two characters are combined, they form the word 扮演, which means "to act out" or "to portray". This word is commonly used in the context of acting, performing, or playing a role.
