    Alas, it does not.

    企鵝 is penguin. By itself, 企 means to stand on tiptoes, or to expect something. It’s also the first character in 企業, business. Sometimes business is abbreviated as just 企.

    But “commitment” in English doesn’t literally mean ‘commercial glove noun’ just because ‘com’ can be short for commercial, and mit means glove.
