The Chinese word 放松 (fàngsōng) is composed of two characters: 放 (fàng) and 松 (sōng). The character 放 originally meant "to let go" or "to release", and it is often used in the sense of "to relax" or "to let loose". The character 松 originally meant "loose" or "slack", and it is often used in the sense of "relaxed" or "at ease". When these two characters are combined, they form the word 放松, which means "to relax" or "to loosen up". This word can be used in a variety of contexts, such as "to relax one's body", "to relax one's mind", or "to relax one's grip".
