About

The word "环境" is formed by combining the characters "环" and "境". "环" means "circle" or "surround", and is constructed from the radical "玉" (jade) and the component "不", historically representing a circular form. "境" means "border" or "area", composed of the radical "土" (earth) and the component "竟" (meaning "end"). Together, they create the concept of a surrounding area, hence denoting "environment".
