The Chinese word 微笑 (wēixiào) for "smile" is composed of two characters: 微 (wēi) and 笑 (xiào). The character 微 originally meant "small" or "tiny," but over time it came to be used in a more figurative sense to mean "slight" or "gentle." The character 笑, on the other hand, has always meant "to laugh" or "to smile." When these two characters are combined, they create the word 微笑, which literally means "a small laugh" or "a gentle smile." This word is often used to describe a polite or reserved smile, as opposed to a big, hearty laugh.
