The Chinese word 整洁 (zhěngjié) is a compound adjective formed by combining two individual characters with related meanings to create a nuanced, holistic concept. The first character, 整 (zhěng), conveys ideas of order, neatness, and being in good order. The second character, 洁 (jié), means clean, pure, or free from dirt. When merged, these semantic components reinforce each other, with 整 emphasizing the organized, tidy aspect and 洁 emphasizing the clean, spotless aspect. Together, they form a single word that means "clean and tidy", describing an environment or object that is both systematically arranged and impeccably clean, where the whole meaning is more specific than either character alone.
