The word 有关 is formed by combining two characters: 有 (yǒu), meaning "to have", and 关 (guān), meaning "a barrier", "a pass", or, in an abstract sense, "a connection" or "relation". Conceptually, these elements are fused to create the idea of "having a connection to" something. It is a straightforward semantic compound where the meaning of the whole is a logical, direct combination of its parts, to possess a link or a point of relevance.
