About

The phrase "到此为止" is formed by sequentially combining the characters 到 (meaning "to arrive"), 此 (meaning "this" or "here"), 为 (a classical particle that links and emphasizes), and 止 (meaning "to stop"), where 到此 creates the sense of "arriving here" and 为止 conveys "ceasing", together producing the literal meaning of "stop here" or "conclude at this point".
