The word 修复 is formed by combining two individual characters, each contributing its core meaning to create a new, composite concept. The first character, 修 (xiū), carries the fundamental idea of repairing, mending, or putting in order. The second character, 复 (fù), conveys the notion of returning, restoring, or repeating. When placed side-by-side, their meanings merge pictorially and conceptually to vividly express the action of "making something whole again by mending it", or "restoring it to its former state". It is a direct logical combination where 修 provides the action and 复 provides the intended result of that action.
