About

The word "企业" is formed by combining the character "企", which pictographically represents a person ("人") standing on tiptoe ("止") to convey the notion of striving or undertaking, with the character "业", which historically refers to a wooden writing tablet but evolved to mean profession, trade, or business; together, they semantically compound to denote an enterprise or business organization.
