About
The word 地区 is formed by combining two individual characters, each contributing its core meaning to create a new, unified concept. The first character, 地 (dì), fundamentally means "earth" or "land". The second, 区 (qū), carries the essential idea of a "division", "area", or "zone". When placed together, they conceptually merge to express the compound notion of a "land division" or a "territorial zone", which corresponds to the English meaning of "region" or "area". It is a straightforward semantic compound where the combined pictorial idea of the characters directly informs the word's meaning.
