About

The Chinese word "强制" is formed by combining the character "强", which conveys concepts of strength, force, or intensity, with the character "制", which represents control, restraint, or systematic regulation. This fusion creates a compound where the inherent meaning of "强" amplifies and directs the action implied by "制", resulting in a term that conceptually embodies the act of imposing something authoritatively or compelling compliance through forceful means, such as in mandatory enforcement or coercion. Thus, the word emerges from the interplay of these foundational ideas, merging force with control to express a unified notion of compelled action.
