About

The word "立即" is formed by combining the character "立", which conveys the sense of standing or instant action, with the character "即", which means promptly or without delay. Both characters contribute semantically to the concept of immediacy, and their conjunction creates a compound word where each element reinforces the other to mean "immediately" or "at once".
