站住

The Chinese word 站住 (zhànzhù) is composed of two characters: 站 (zhàn) and 住 (zhù). The character 站 originally meant "to stand" or "to be upright", and it is often used in the context of standing up or taking a stance. The character 住 originally meant "to stop" or "to stay", and it is often used in the context of stopping or staying in one place. When these two characters are combined, they form the word 站住, which means "to stand still" or "to stop". This word is often used as a command to tell someone to stop or to stay where they are. For example, a police officer might say 站住! (Stop!) to someone who is running away.
