About

The word "取决于" is formed from the character 取, meaning "to take", combined with 决, meaning "to decide", and the preposition 于, which here indicates reliance or condition. The sequence 取 and 决 together imply the act of making a decision, while 于 connects this action to the factor upon which it is based, thus creating a compound verb meaning "to depend on".
