Notes on Meaning
- The primary and most specific meaning of "chỉnh hợp" is a technical term in geology and physical geography, describing a concordant relationship between rock layers.
- Its broader, more general meaning of "harmonious arrangement" is less commonly used in everyday language and is often inferred from the component words "chỉnh" (to adjust) and "hợp" (to fit together).
