About
The word 打扮 is formed by combining two characters that each contribute to the overall concept. The first character, 打 (dǎ), carries an abstract sense of "to engage in" or "to perform an action". The second character, 扮 (bàn), conveys the specific ideas of dress, costume, or appearance. When fused, the action-oriented 打 activates the concept in 扮, creating a single term that conceptually means "to perform the act of arranging one's attire and appearance", hence "to dress up" or "to adorn oneself".
