About

The word 速度 is formed by combining two meaningful characters: 速, which means "fast" or "rapid", and 度, which means "degree" or "measure". Together, they conceptually fuse to create a new, single idea where the quality of rapidity (速) is given a measurable dimension or rate (度), resulting in the comprehensive notion of "speed" as the degree or measure of how fast something moves.
