About

The word 配方 is formed by combining two characters: 配, which carries the core meaning of "to mix", "to blend", or "to compound", and 方, which means "method", "prescription", or "formula". Together, they create a conceptual unit that literally means a "mixing method". This directly conveys the idea of a prescribed formula or set of instructions for combining specific ingredients, which is its essential meaning, a recipe, a chemical formula, or a secret formulation for a product.
