About

The word 前途 is formed by combining two characters: 前, meaning "front" or "ahead", and 途, meaning "road" or "path". Together, they create a powerful visual metaphor of "the road that lies ahead", where the literal image of a path stretching into the distance naturally evokes the abstract concept of one's future journey, prospects, and possibilities. The meaning emerges not from a grammatical rule, but from this immediate spatial and metaphorical fusion, picturing what is before you on your life's path.
