The word 实现 is formed by combining two independent characters, each contributing a core concept to create a new, unified meaning. The first character, 实 (shí), carries the fundamental idea of "solid", "true", or "reality". The second, 现 (xiàn), fundamentally means "to appear", "to manifest", or "to be revealed". Their combination is not merely additive but conceptual: it portrays the process where an abstract idea, plan, or potential (embodied by 实 as substantial truth) is brought forth into visible, concrete existence (as indicated by 现). Thus, the formation visually and notionally represents the act of "making real" or "causing to appear in reality".
