About

The word "与此同时" is formed by sequentially combining the characters 与 (meaning "and" or "with"), 此 (meaning "this"), 同 (meaning "same" or "together"), and 时 (meaning "time"). The construction links 与 and 此 to create "与此" (with this), and 同 and 时 to create "同时" (same time), resulting in a literal meaning of "with this, same time", which functions as a fixed adverbial phrase expressing "at the same time" or "simultaneously".
