解
雇

About

The word 解雇 is formed by combining two characters: 解, which means "to untie", "to release", or "to dismiss", and 雇, which means "to hire" or "employment". Together, they create a conceptual compound where the action of "releasing" or "untying" is directly applied to the state of "being hired", thus pictorially and logically conveying the meaning of "to fire" or "to dismiss from employment".
