About

The word 好转 is formed through a direct and intuitive combination of its two component characters: 好 (hǎo), meaning "good" or "well", and 转 (zhuǎn), meaning "to turn" or "to change". The formation is conceptual, painting a mental picture of a situation or condition physically "turning" toward a "good" direction. It is not a grammatical formula but rather a fused idea, where the meaning of the whole emerges from this spatial metaphor of a favorable change in state, effectively conveying the sense of "improvement" or "taking a turn for the better".
