About

The word 加速 is formed through the direct and logical combination of two meaningful characters: 加 (jiā), which means "to add" or "increase", and 速 (sù), which means "speed" or "velocity". It is a conceptual compound where the first character acts upon the second, creating the new unified meaning of "to add speed", or "to accelerate". This formation visually and semantically represents the action of causing an increase in rate or swiftness.
