落实 (luò shí) — (verb) to implement, to carry out, to put into effect

Definition

落实 focuses on making a plan or policy actually happen on the ground — more concrete than 实行 (which stresses adopting a policy) and narrower than 实施 (broader implementation). Often pairs with 具体措施, 政策, 方案.

This origin belongs to the traditional form 實; 实 is its simplified writing.

  • 宀宀miánroof
  • 周周zhōucarved jade
  • 貝貝bèishellfish; cowrie

The traditional form 實 has 宀 'roof' above 周 'carved jade' and 貝 'cowrie'; the simplified 实 is a later shorthand, so its parts are not the historical pieces.
