晚期

晚期 refers to the later or final stage of a process, period, or condition. It is often used to describe something that has progressed to its later phase, such as in medical contexts, historical periods, or project development.

The character 晚 (wǎn) means 'late' or 'later,' and 期 (qī) means 'period' or 'stage.' Together, they form a compound meaning 'late stage' or 'final period.'

晚期 is commonly used in various contexts, including medicine (e.g., late-stage cancer), history (e.g., the late stage of an empire), and business (e.g., the late stage of product development). Understanding this term helps learners grasp the concept of progression and timing in Chinese language and culture.
