The word 转移 is formed by combining two individual characters, each contributing a core action to create a unified concept. The first character, 转 (zhuǎn), carries the inherent meaning of "to turn", "to revolve", or "to change direction". The second, 移 (yí), means "to move", "to shift", or "to relocate". When placed together, they sequentially depict a process: a turning or changing of state and then a moving of that state to another place. This fusion creates the comprehensive idea of a "transfer" or "shift", the act of causing something to change its position, condition, or allegiance from one point or state to another.
