The word "迎接" is formed by combining two individual characters, "迎" and "接", which both independently carry the core idea of meeting or receiving. "迎" conveys the sense of moving forward to meet someone or something, implying an active welcome, while "接" emphasizes the act of receiving or accepting what arrives. By joining them, the compound creates a more complete and vivid picture of the entire welcoming process, the initial movement toward and the subsequent reception, thereby strengthening and enriching the single concept of "to welcome".
