接送 (jiē sòng) is a compound verb meaning 'to pick up and drop off' — typically referring to transporting someone, especially children or elderly family members, between locations such as home, school, or work. The first character 接 (jiē) means 'to receive' or 'to meet', while the second character 送 (sòng) means 'to send' or 'to escort'. Together, they form a symmetric, two-way action: arriving to collect someone and later delivering them to their destination.

This word is commonly used in daily life contexts involving caregiving, commuting, or logistics — for example, parents接送 their children to kindergarten, companies arranging班车 (shuttle buses) for employees, or hospitals providing接送 services for outpatients. It emphasizes the full round-trip service rather than just one leg of the journey. While often used transitively (e.g., 接送孩子), it can also appear in noun phrases like 接送服务 (pickup-and-drop-off service).
