Étymologie et composants

The Chinese word 慰问 (wèiwèn) is composed of two characters: 慰 (wèi) and 问 (wèn). The character 慰 originally meant "to comfort" or "to console", and it is often used in the context of expressing sympathy or offering condolences. The character 问, on the other hand, means "to ask" or "to inquire", and it is often used in the context of seeking information or making inquiries. When these two characters are combined to form the word 慰问, the meaning becomes "to express sympathy or offer condolences by asking about someone's well-being". In modern Chinese, 慰问 is commonly used as a verb to describe the act of visiting or contacting someone to express concern or support, especially in times of difficulty or distress.
