The word "峰会" is formed by combining the character "峰" (fēng), meaning "peak" or "summit", with "会" (huì), meaning "meeting" or "gathering". This results in a compound word that literally translates to "peak meeting", and it metaphorically denotes a high-level conference, such as a summit between leaders or top officials, by using the concept of a physical peak to represent the highest level of discussion.
