The Chinese word 启动 (qǐdòng) is a compound word consisting of two characters: 起 (qǐ) and 动 (dòng). The character 起 originally meant "to rise" or "to begin", and it is often used in the context of starting something. The character 动 means "to move" or "to act", and it is often used in the context of taking action. When these two characters are combined, they form the word 启动, which means "to start up" or "to initiate". This word is commonly used in a variety of contexts, such as starting a machine, starting a project, or starting a journey.
