The Chinese word 约定 (yuēdìng) is composed of two characters: 约 (yuē) and 定 (dìng). The character 约 originally meant "to bind" or "to tie," and it was often used in the sense of "to make an agreement" or "to promise." The character 定 originally meant "to settle" or "to fix," and it was often used in the sense of "to decide" or "to determine." When these two characters are combined, they form the word 约定, which means "to make an agreement" or "to reach a consensus." This word is commonly used in Chinese to refer to a verbal or written agreement between two or more parties.
