The Chinese word 危险 (wēixiǎn) for "danger" is composed of two characters: 危 (wēi) and 险 (xiǎn). The character 危 originally meant "high and steep," and was often used to describe a dangerous or precarious situation. The character 险 originally meant "difficult or dangerous," and was often used to describe a place or situation that was difficult to pass or navigate. Together, the two characters 危 and 险 form the word 危险, which is used to describe a situation or condition that is dangerous or poses a risk of harm.
