About

The word 脉搏 is formed by combining two characters, each contributing a core physical concept to visualize the phenomenon. 脉 (mài) means "blood vessel" or "pulse", representing the physical channel. 搏 (bó) means "to beat", "to throb", or "to pulse", representing the dynamic action. Together, they create a compound that literally pictures "the throbbing of the blood vessels", directly and intuitively naming the rhythmic surge of blood felt in the arteries.
