About

The word 晚宴 is formed by combining two meaningful characters: 晚 (wǎn), which means "evening" or "night", and 宴 (yàn), which means "feast" or "banquet". These concepts are joined directly together to create a new, composite idea that specifically denotes a formal evening meal or dinner party, blending the time of day with the type of social gathering into a single, unified term.
