The word **汇合** (huìhé) is a compound verb formed by combining two characters with closely related meanings: **汇** (huì), which carries the sense of "to converge," "to gather," or "to flow together" (often used for fluids, funds, or data), and **合** (hé), which means "to combine," "to join," or "to unite." Together, they create a synergistic meaning where **汇** emphasizes the process of multiple streams or elements moving toward a common point, and **合** emphasizes the resulting state of their meeting and union. Thus, the term literally and figuratively means "to converge and join together," typically describing the merging of things like rivers, roads, crowds, or abstract forces.
