The word **吉利** is a compound formed by combining two individual characters, each with its own auspicious meaning: **吉** (jí), which means "lucky" or "auspicious," and **利** (lì), which means "beneficial," "profitable," or "sharp." Together, they create a **binomial or coordinate compound** where the meanings complement and reinforce each other to convey a broader, more comprehensive sense of "good fortune and prosperity." This type of formation is common in Chinese, where two semantically similar characters are paired to express a single, culturally resonant concept often used in blessings, brand names, and festive contexts to signify overall success and favorable outcomes.
