The word "委员会" (wěiyuánhuì), meaning "committee", is formed through a logical, three-step conceptual composition. It begins with the character 委 (wěi), carrying the core idea of "to entrust" or "a delegated task". This is then combined with 员 (yuán), meaning "person" or "member", to form the unit "委员" , literally "entrusted person" or delegate. Finally, this unit is placed before 会 (huì), meaning "assembly" or "organized group", to complete the concept as "an assembly of entrusted persons", perfectly capturing the essence of a committee as a group formed by delegation to perform a specific function.
