About

The word "打包" is formed by combining two characters: "打", which in this context conveys the general idea of performing an action, and "包", which means to wrap or bundle. Together, they create a compound word where "打" initiates the action and "包" specifies the result, metaphorically depicting the process of wrapping items into a package. This term commonly refers to the act of packing food or goods for takeaway, embodying the conceptual blend of an action leading to a wrapped or packaged state.
