The Chinese word 展开 (zhǎnkāi) is composed of two characters: 展 (zhǎn) and 开 (kāi). The character 展 originally meant "to spread out" or "to extend", and was often used in the context of spreading out a scroll or a map. The character 开 originally meant "to open" or "to begin", and was often used in the context of opening a door or starting a journey. When these two characters are combined, they form the word 展开, which means "to unfold", "to spread out", or "to develop". This word can be used in a variety of contexts, such as unfolding a piece of paper, spreading out a blanket, or developing a plan.
