About

The word "好处" is formed through a conceptual combination where the character "好" (hǎo), meaning "good" or "beneficial", modifies the character "处" (chù), which originally denotes a "place" or "location". Through metaphorical extension, "处" here takes on the abstract sense of a "point", "aspect", or "circumstance". Therefore, the compound literally and conceptually represents the "good places" or "beneficial points" of something, converging to mean its "benefits", "advantages", or "positive aspects".
