The word 展现 is formed by combining two characters, each contributing a core action to create a unified concept. The first character, 展 (zhǎn), carries the meaning of to unfold, to spread out, or to open up, like unrolling a scroll. The second, 现 (xiàn), means to appear, to become visible, or to manifest. Together, they logically sequence these actions: one first unfolds or opens up something (展), thereby causing it to appear or become clearly visible (现) to the viewer. The compound thus encapsulates the complete process of making something internal or concealed outwardly visible and clear, resulting in the meaning "to display", "to reveal", or "to show forth".
