The Chinese word 补课 (bǔ kè) is a compound word consisting of two characters: 补 (bǔ) and 课 (kè). The character 补 originally meant "to mend" or "to repair", but in modern Chinese it has come to mean "to supplement" or "to make up for". The character 课 originally meant "a lesson" or "a class", but in modern Chinese it has come to mean "a course of study" or "a subject". Thus, the word 补课 literally means "to make up for a lesson" or "to take extra lessons". In practice, it is used to refer to private tutoring or extra classes that students take outside of their regular school hours in order to improve their academic performance.
