The Chinese word "正轨" (zhèngguǐ) is a compound noun formed by combining two characters: "正" (zhèng), meaning "correct", "proper", or "upright", and "轨" (guǐ), meaning "track", "rail", or "path". Literally, it refers to the "correct track". Together, they create a metaphorical meaning signifying "the right path", "proper order", or "normal course", commonly used to describe something (like work, life, or society) moving or being restored to a correct, standardized, or healthy state. Its formation follows the common Chinese lexical pattern where an adjective ("正") modifies a noun ("轨") to express an abstract concept.
