agenda
📋 议程 = 议 discuss + 程 procedure = the discuss-procedure, an agenda
议 means to discuss or deliberate; 程 means procedure, course, or schedule. Together they name the ordered list of things to be discussed: an agenda. The yìchéng sound starts like the English yee in yield, then cheng.
议 — speech radical 讠 (言) + 义 (yì, righteousness)
议 is a semantic-phonetic compound. The speech radical 讠 (言) signals meaning related to talking, while 义 supplies the sound 'yì'. Together they convey discussing or deliberating—literally 'speech about what is right,' which fits its modern senses of 'discuss' and 'proposal.'
