The Chinese word 收益 is a compound term formed by combining two meaningful characters: 收, which means "to receive" or "to collect", and 益, which means "benefit", "profit", or "increase". Together, they create a logical semantic unit where 收 denotes the action of obtaining and 益 specifies what is obtained, namely, benefits or profits. Thus, the word literally means "received benefits" and is used broadly to refer to income, returns, yield, or gains from an investment, business, or asset.
