Étymologie et composants

The Chinese word 暴力 (bào lì) for "violence" is composed of two characters: 暴 (bào), meaning "sudden" or "fierce", and 力 (lì), meaning "strength" or "power". Together, these characters convey the idea of sudden or intense force. The term 暴力 is often used to describe physical violence, such as assault or battery, but it can also be used in a more general sense to refer to any form of extreme or destructive behavior. For example, it can be used to describe verbal abuse, emotional abuse, or even economic coercion. In recent years, the term 暴力 has also been used to describe certain forms of political oppression or state violence.
