About

The Chinese word 特权 is formed by joining the character 特, which conveys the idea of "special" or "particular", with the character 权, which denotes "power" or "right". This fusion creates a conceptual compound where the notion of "special" directly qualifies "power", resulting in a term that encapsulates the meaning of an exclusive entitlement or preferential advantage, inherently reflecting the social concept of privilege.
