The word 助理 is formed by combining two meaningful characters: 助, which means "to assist" or "help", and 理, which carries meanings of "to manage", "to put in order", or "reason". They are joined not by grammar but by a logical conceptual pairing, where the second character defines the sphere or type of the first. Thus, the compound visually and semantically presents the idea of "one who assists in managing" or "an aide in handling affairs", creating a new, integrated concept for a helper with organizational duties.
