About
The word 为止 is formed by combining two characters whose core meanings logically fuse to create a new concept. The first character, 为, carries the fundamental sense of "to act as" or "to serve as". The second, 止, means "to stop" or "to cease". When joined, they create a compound that literally conveys the idea of "serving as the stop" or "acting as the limit", thereby conceptually marking a definitive endpoint or boundary in a process, action, or period.
