About

The word "完了" is formed by combining the character 完, which carries the core meaning of "to finish" or "to be complete", with the character 了, which primarily functions as a grammatical marker indicating a change of state or completed action. Their fusion creates a single unit where the first character provides the substantive meaning and the second intensifies the sense of finality, resulting in a term that conceptually denotes a thorough conclusion, as in "it's over" or "all done".
