The Chinese word 利润 (lìrùn) for "profit" is composed of two characters: 利 (lì) and 润 (rùn). The character 利 originally meant "sharp" or "pointed," and was often used in the context of weapons or tools. Over time, it came to be used more broadly to refer to any kind of advantage or benefit. The character 润 originally meant "to moisten" or "to lubricate," and was often used in the context of water or oil. Over time, it came to be used more broadly to refer to any kind of smoothness or ease. When combined, the two characters 利润 (lìrùn) create a word that means "to benefit from something" or "to make a profit."
