About

The word "环节" is formed by combining the character "环", meaning "ring" or "loop", with "节", meaning "joint" or "segment". Together, they create a compound term that conceptually represents a linked segment, as in a chain or a step in a process, where each part is connected to others, derived directly from the literal senses of the two characters.
