The Chinese word 补充 (bǔchōng) is composed of two characters: 补 (bǔ) and 充 (chōng). The character 补 originally meant "to mend" or "to repair", and it is often used in the context of fixing something that is broken or incomplete. The character 充 originally meant "to fill" or "to make full", and it is often used in the context of adding something to something else in order to make it complete. When these two characters are combined, the resulting word 补充 takes on the meaning of "to supplement" or "to add something to something else in order to make it complete". This word is commonly used in a variety of contexts, such as adding more information to a report, adding more ingredients to a recipe, or adding more money to a budget.
