About

The word 提出 is formed through the metaphorical combination of two characters: 提 (tí), which originally means "to lift" or "to raise", and 出 (chū), meaning "to exit" or "to emerge". Together, they create a compound where the conceptual action of "lifting something out" from within oneself or a situation is used to express the abstract idea of "bringing forward" or "proposing" a thought, question, or plan for consideration.
