产生/產生 chǎnshēng — to produce, to give rise to, to arise

Meanings

1. 1

   to produce, to give rise to, to arise

   Used of things that come into being rather than things that are made: an effect, an interest, a misunderstanding, a feeling. Making a physical object is 生产 — the same two characters the other way round.
