About

The word "幕后" is formed by directly combining the characters for "curtain" (幕) and "behind" (后), resulting in the literal meaning "behind the curtain". This construction originates from the theatrical context, where the curtain separates the visible stage from hidden backstage areas, thus naturally evolving to metaphorically represent any concealed or behind-the-scenes activities, influences, or manipulation in broader contexts, effectively capturing the notion of unseen forces at work through a vivid, imagery-based compound.
