The Chinese word 退休 (tūixiū) is composed of two characters: 退 (tuì) and 休 (xiū). The character 退 originally meant "to step back" or "to retreat", but it has also come to mean "to retire" or "to withdraw". The character 休 originally meant "to rest" or "to take a break", but it has also come to mean "to retire" or "to be on vacation". Thus, the word 退休 literally means "to step back and rest" or "to withdraw and take a break". It is used to refer to the act of retiring from work or from a position of responsibility.
