About
The word "遍布" (biànbù) is a compound verb formed by combining two meaningful characters: "遍" meaning "everywhere" or "all over", and "布" meaning "to spread", "to arrange", or "to disseminate". Together, they create a synergistic meaning where "布" (to spread) acts upon the scope defined by "遍" (everywhere), resulting in the complete concept of "to be spread all over" or "to be found everywhere". It is a typical example of a complementary compound in Chinese, where the first character modifies the action of the second to express a comprehensive and extensive coverage.
