Étymologie et composants

The Chinese word 希望 (xīwàng) for "hope" is composed of two characters: 希 (xī) and 望 (wàng). 希 originally meant "rare" or "scarce", and was often used in a negative sense. However, over time, it came to be used in a more positive sense, meaning "to desire" or "to long for". 望 originally meant "to look" or "to gaze", and was often used in the context of looking towards the future. When these two characters are combined, they create the word 希望, which expresses the idea of looking forward to something with desire or longing. In modern Chinese, 希望 is commonly used to express the feeling of hope or to wish for something to happen.
