传达
chuándá · HSK 5
pass on
📨 传达 = chuán (pass on) + dá (reach/arrive)
传 means to pass on or transmit; 达 means to reach or arrive. Together: a message that is passed along until it reaches its destination — communicate or convey.
传 — person radical 亻 + 专 (zhuān)
Originally a phono-semantic compound: 亻 (person) gives the meaning 'to pass on' between people, while 専/专 supplied the sound. Early uses referred to relay stations and messengers carrying word from place to place, which broadened to today's senses of transmitting, spreading, and handing down (as in tradition or biography).
