About
The Chinese word "炫耀" is formed by combining two characters, each evoking concepts of light and visibility. "炫" conveys the notion of dazzling or shining brightly, often with a sense of vivid display, while "耀" means to illuminate, radiate, or glorify. Together, they merge into a compound where the imagery of intense light metaphorically illustrates the act of making something conspicuously prominent, thus encapsulating the idea of showing off or flaunting something, whether possessions, skills, or achievements, in a way that seeks to attract attention and admiration.
