传来

传 lái means 'to be reported' or 'to come as a report'. It describes the act of information being conveyed from one place to another, often in a passive sense.

传 (chuán) originally meant 'to pass on' or 'to transmit', while 来 (lái) means 'to come'. Together, 传来 suggests that something has been passed along or arrived as news or information.

This term is commonly used in news contexts, such as 'the news came from Beijing' or 'a rumor was reported'. It can also refer to sounds or signals arriving, like 'the sound of footsteps was heard'.
