The Chinese word **待续** (dàixù), meaning "to be continued," is a compound formed by combining two distinct characters: **待** (dài), which means "to wait" or "to await," and **续** (xù), which means "to continue" or "to extend." When merged, these characters create a grammatical structure where **待** acts as a verb indicating a state of expectancy, and **续** serves as the object or action being awaited, thus literally conveying the sense of "awaiting continuation." This term is commonly used as a notation at the end of a book chapter, TV episode, or article to signal that the narrative will be resumed later, making it a concise and fixed phrase in modern Chinese.
