The Chinese word "休假" (xiūjià) is composed of two characters: "休" (xiū) and "假" (jià). The character "休" originally meant "to stop" or "to rest", and it is often used in words related to leisure or relaxation, such as "休息" (xīuxiū, "to rest") and "休闲" (xiūxián, "leisure"). The character "假" originally meant "false" or "not real", but it is also used in words related to time off from work or school, such as "假期" (jìqiā, "vacation") and "请假" (qǐngjià, "to ask for leave"). When combined, the two characters "休假" form a word that means "vacation" or "time off".
