About
The Chinese word 推出 is a verb-complement compound formed by combining the character 推 (tuī, meaning "to push") with the character 出 (chū, meaning "to exit" or "to come out"). Morphologically, it follows a common syntactic pattern where the first character denotes the main action, and the second character indicates the directional result or consequence of that action. Thus, the literal sense is "to push out", but it has undergone semantic extension and is now predominantly used in abstract, metaphorical contexts to mean "to launch" (e.g., a product), "to introduce" (e.g., a new policy), or "to present" (e.g., a theory), capturing the idea of propelling something from a conceptual background into the public sphere.
