About
The word "水平" is formed by combining the character "水" meaning "water" and "平" meaning "level" or "flat". Together, they literally denote "water level", referring to the horizontal surface of water used as a basis for measurement. This concrete meaning was extended metaphorically to represent a standard, degree, or proficiency in various contexts, with both characters contributing semantically to the compound's sense of an even benchmark.
