About

The word 充分 is formed by combining two characters whose individual meanings conceptually merge to create a new, abstract sense. The first character, 充, carries the core idea of "fullness", "sufficiency", or "to fill". The second, 分, originally represents a "division", "portion", or "part". When joined, the compound conveys the notion of being "full in every part" or "sufficient in all divisions", conceptually evolving to mean "complete", "ample", or "thorough". It is a semantic compound where the combined idea is more abstract than a simple sum of its parts.
