The word **远大** is a compound adjective formed by combining two independent Chinese characters, each with its own meaning: **远** (yuǎn), meaning "far," "distant," or "long-term," and **大** (dà), meaning "big," "great," or "vast." When combined, their meanings fuse into a new, abstract concept that is greater than the sum of its parts, specifically describing something (like an ambition, vision, or plan) as "far-reaching," "grand," or "lofty." This formation follows the common Chinese lexical pattern of coordinating two semantically related characters to create a nuanced, often metaphorical term that conveys scale, ambition, and long-term significance.
