Kanji 転 revolve, turn around, change Related words 転てん 地ち 転地 means 'change of location/climate' and is the first part of 転地療養, but it does not inherently imply medical treatment.
療りょう 養よう 療養 means 'medical treatment/recuperation' and is the second part; it can be used alone for general recuperation without the travel nuance.
Etymology A yojijukugo composed of 転 (change), 地 (place), 療 (heal), and 養 (nourish/foster). The combination directly conveys the idea of changing one's location for health improvement.
