Etymologie & Komponenten

The Chinese word 牙刷 (yáshuǎ) for toothbrush is a compound of two characters: 牙 (yá), meaning "tooth", and 刷 (shuǎ), meaning "to brush". The word 牙刷 is first recorded in the 17th century, and it is believed to have originated from the Portuguese word escova, which means "brush". The Portuguese word escova is derived from the Latin word scopa, which also means "brush". The Chinese word 牙刷 is a loanword from the Portuguese language, and it is one of the many words that were introduced into Chinese during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), when China had extensive trade and cultural exchanges with Portugal.
