门

About

The word 部门 is formed by combining two meaningful characters, each contributing to the overall concept. The first character, 部 (bù), carries the core idea of a part, division, or ministry. The second character, 门 (mén), literally meaning "door" or "gate", is used metaphorically here to indicate a category, branch, or field of study or activity. When joined, they create a single unit meaning "department" or "sector", visually and conceptually representing a distinct gateway or categorized division within a larger organization or system.
