About
The word 启动 is formed through a conceptual combination of its two component characters. The first character, 启, carries the core meaning of "to open", "to begin", or "to enlighten". The second character, 动, means "to move" or "to act". When combined, they create a metaphorical and dynamic compound meaning "to start up" or "to set in motion", where the abstract idea of initiating a process (启) is vividly conveyed through the concrete image of putting something into action (动).
