The character 服 originally meant "to submit" or "to obey", and was often used in political or social contexts. When combined, the two characters 克服 (kèfú) took on the meaning of "to overcome" or "to conquer" in a more general sense, and could be used in a variety of contexts.The word 克服 (kèfú) is commonly used in modern Chinese to mean "to overcome" or "to conquer" a difficulty, challenge, or obstacle.
