arbitration
The Chinese word 裁判 (pànjuàn) for "judgement" or "arbitration" is composed of two characters: 判 (pàn) and 断 (duàn). The character 判 originally meant "to divide" or "to distinguish", and was often used in the context of making a judgement or decision. The character 断, on the other hand, meant "to cut off" or "to sever", and was often used in the context of making a final decision or conclusion. When combined, the two characters 判断 (pànduàn) took on the meaning of "to make a judgement" or "to arbitrate". Over time, the word 裁判 (pànjuàn) was derived from 判断, and became the standard term for "judgement" or "arbitration" in Chinese.
