充分

The Chinese word 充分 (chōngfèn) is composed of two characters: 充 (chōng) and 分 (fèn). The character 充 originally meant "full" or "abundant," and was often used in the sense of "sufficient" or "adequate." The character 分 originally meant "to divide" or "to share," and was often used in the sense of "a part" or "a portion." When these two characters are combined, they create the word 充分, which literally means "full to the brim" or "completely sufficient." This word is often used to describe something that is complete, adequate, or satisfactory. For example, we can say 准备充分 (zhǔnbèi chōngfèn) to mean "to be well-prepared" or 工作充分 (gōngzuò chōngfèn) to mean "to do a thorough job."
