About

The word 温柔 is formed by merging two independent concepts, 温 (wēn), which conveys warmth and mildness, and 柔 (róu), which conveys softness and pliability. Their combination is not merely additive but synergistic, creating a single, nuanced idea that fuses the physical sensation of gentle warmth with the tactile quality of softness to express an abstract human attribute of tender, soothing, and kind disposition.
