The Chinese word 治安 (zhì'ān) is composed of two characters: 治 (zhì) and 安 (ān). 治 originally meant "to rectify" or "to put in order", and was often used in the context of governing or managing a country. 安, on the other hand, meant "peace" or "tranquility". When combined, 治安 literally means "to rectify peace", and is used to refer to the maintenance of public order and safety. In modern Chinese, 治安 is often used in the context of law enforcement and crime prevention.
