The Chinese word **吊销** is a compound verb formed by combining two characters: **吊**, which originally means "to suspend" or "to hang up," and **销**, which means "to cancel" or "to annul." Together, they create a metaphorical meaning where an official authority "lifts and cancels" a certificate, license, or qualification, effectively revoking it and putting it out of effect. It is primarily used in formal or legal contexts, such as revoking a driver's license or a business permit, conveying a sense of authoritative termination through this vivid image of suspension and nullification.
