The word "安好" is a compound formed by combining two individual characters, each with its own meaning, to create a new, nuanced term. The first character, "安" (ān), fundamentally means "peace," "safety," or "tranquility." The second character, "好" (hǎo), means "good," "well," or "fine." When paired in this order, they create a coordinative or parallel compound where both elements contribute equally to the overall sense. The combined term "安好" thus conveys a holistic state of being both *safe and well*, *peaceful and in good health*, and is most commonly used as a graceful, slightly literary greeting or wish meaning "I hope you are safe and well."
