About

The word 提到 is formed by combining the character 提, which means "to lift" or "to raise" (and by extension, to bring something up), with the character 到, which means "to arrive" or "to reach". Together, they create a conceptual blend where the action of "lifting" a subject or an idea metaphorically causes it to "arrive" in the conversation or context, thus forming the meaning "to mention" or "to bring up".
