About

The word "修理" is formed by combining two characters: "修", which conveys the act of repairing, improving, or restoring, and "理", which implies putting things in order, managing, or addressing. Together, they create a compound word where the meanings synergize to express the concept of "repair" or "fix", specifically through the dual actions of restoration and systematic adjustment to return something to working condition. This formation exemplifies the typical Chinese linguistic practice of juxtaposing semantically related characters to convey a nuanced, unified idea.
