整合 (zhěnghé) is a verb meaning 'to integrate' or 'to consolidate'—bringing separate elements together into a unified, coherent whole. The first character 整 (zhěng) means 'to arrange', 'to tidy up', or 'to make whole', while 合 (hé) means 'to join', 'to unite', or 'to combine'. Together, they emphasize purposeful coordination and structural unification—not just mixing, but organizing diverse parts so they function as one system.

This word is commonly used in formal, professional, or technical contexts: education reform, healthcare systems, business strategy, or digital platform development. It often appears with objects like resources, data, departments, or services. While it can describe physical merging, it’s more frequently abstract—referring to conceptual, procedural, or organizational integration. It carries a positive, proactive connotation, implying efficiency, synergy, and improved functionality through deliberate unification.
