About
The word "以便" is formed through the classical Chinese method of combining two existing, meaningful characters to create a new, composite logical relationship. It directly fuses the character "以", which here carries its consequential meaning of "in order to" or "so as to", with the character "便", meaning "convenience" or "to facilitate". Their combination is not merely additive but synthesizes into a single purposeful unit that conceptually means "for the convenience of [achieving something else]" or "with the aim of facilitating". This formation exemplifies how classical Chinese often constructs abstract relational terms by pairing a functional particle with a substantive character to express a nuanced directional intention.
