Word origin

全 (quán, "all") + 力 (lì, "strength") + 以 (yǐ, "with") + 赴 (fù, "go toward") form an idiom about using all one's strength to move toward a goal.

Usage tips

It commonly comes before an action verb, so Chinese sentences often present the commitment first and the specific task afterward.
