会诊
huì zhěn · HSK 7
consultation
🩺 会诊 = 会 (meet/gather) + 诊 (diagnose) → specialists gather to diagnose
会 means to meet or gather; 诊 means to diagnose or examine a patient. Together: several doctors meeting to jointly diagnose a hard case — a medical consultation.
会 — 人 person on top + 云 cloud/say below (simplified from 會)
The traditional form 會 showed a lid over a vessel with contents stacked inside, depicting things coming together — hence 'meet, gather, assemble.' From 'gathering' it extended to 'meeting,' then 'understand' (minds meeting) and 'be able to.' The simplified 会 keeps only a schematic top and bottom.
