About

The word 代理 is formed by combining two meaningful characters: 代, which means "to substitute" or "to act in place of", and 理, which means "to manage" or "to handle affairs". When joined, the compound creates a unified concept where the action of substituting (代) is directly applied to the domain of managing or handling (理). This results in the core meaning of "managing on behalf of another" or "acting as a substitute in handling matters", conceptually capturing the idea of agency or acting as a proxy.
