The word **可观** is formed through the combination of two characters: **可** (*kě*), meaning "can" or "worthy of," and **观** (*guān*), meaning "to look at" or "sight." Literally, it translates to "worthy of being looked at." Through semantic extension, this literal meaning evolved into a figurative sense, where something that is "worth seeing" is therefore impressive, significant, or substantial in amount or scale. Thus, **可观** functions as an adjective describing something as considerable, sizable, or remarkable, applying to both concrete things (like a sum of money) and abstract qualities (like achievements).
