About

The word "包含" is formed by combining the character 包, which means "to wrap" or "to encompass", with the character 含, which means "to hold" or "to contain". Both characters contribute semantically related ideas of enclosure and inclusion, resulting in a compound that means "to contain" or "to include". This direct juxtaposition of meanings creates the word's sense of something being held within or comprised of other elements.
