The Chinese word 占据 (zhànjù) is composed of two characters: 占 (zhàn) and 居 (jū). The character 占 originally meant "to divine" or "to predict the future" and was often used in ancient Chinese rituals and ceremonies. Over time, it came to be used more broadly to mean "to take possession of" or "to occupy". The character 居 originally meant "to dwell" or "to live in" and was often used to refer to one's home or place of residence. Over time, it came to be used more broadly to mean "to occupy" or "to take up space".When combined, the two characters 占 and 居 form the word 占据, which means "to occupy" or "to take possession of". This word can be used in a variety of contexts, such as to describe the occupation of a territory by a military force, the occupation of a building by squatters, or the occupation of a seat in a theater.
