The Chinese word 发布 (fābù) is composed of two characters: 发 (fā) and 布 (bù). The character 发 originally meant "to send out" or "to shoot", and was often used in the context of sending troops or arrows. Over time, it came to be used more broadly to mean "to issue" or "to publish". The character 布 originally meant "cloth" or "fabric", and was often used in the context of making clothes or covering something. Over time, it came to be used more broadly to mean "to spread out" or "to distribute".When these two characters are combined, they form the word 发布, which means "to issue" or "to publish". This word is often used in the context of issuing a statement or announcement, or publishing a book or article. For example, the phrase 新闻发布会 (xīnwén fābùhuì) means "press conference", and the phrase 图书发布会 (túshū fābùhuì) means "book launch".
