About

The word 坠入 is formed by combining the character 坠, which pictorially and conceptually means "to fall" or "to drop" (often with weight or force), with the character 入, which means "to enter". Together, they create a single, vivid metaphorical image: the action of falling into something, such as falling into a state (like love or despair), a place (like an abyss), or a condition, blending the motion of descent with the crossing of a boundary.
