The Chinese word 飞行 (fēixíng) for "flying" is composed of two characters: 飞 (fēi) and 行 (xíng). The character 飞 originally depicted a bird in flight, and its meaning has extended to include any kind of flying. The character 行 originally meant "to go" or "to walk," but it has also come to mean "to fly." When these two characters are combined, they create the word 飞行, which specifically refers to the act of flying through the air. This word is often used in the context of aviation, but it can also be used more generally to refer to any kind of flying, such as the flight of a bird or a kite.
