The Chinese word "寻求" (xúnqiú) is composed of two characters: "寻" (xún) and "求" (qiú). The character "寻" originally meant "to walk slowly and carefully" and later extended to mean "to search" or "to seek". The character "求" originally meant "to ask for" or "to request" and later extended to mean "to seek" or "to pursue". Thus, the word "寻求" literally means "to seek carefully" or "to pursue diligently". It is often used in the sense of "to seek out" or "to look for" something, such as information, knowledge, or a solution to a problem. For example, the sentence "我在寻求一个更好的工作" means "I am looking for a better job".
