The word 安顿 is a compound formed by combining two semantically related characters: 安 (ān), which conveys "peace", "safety", or "to settle (oneself)", and 顿 (dùn), which means "to arrange", "to pause", or "to handle". Together, they create a verb that means "to arrange for someone/something to settle down properly" or "to make comfortable and orderly arrangements". The formation follows a cause-and-effect or sequential logic common in Chinese word formation: first, one makes arrangements (顿) to achieve a state of settled peace and security (安). Thus, the combined meaning is more specific and nuanced than either character alone, representing the holistic process of ensuring something or someone is comfortably and securely placed.
