The Chinese word for tears, 眼泪 (yǎnlèi), is a compound of two characters: 眼 (yǎn), meaning "eye," and 泪 (lèi), meaning "tear." The character 眼 is a pictograph of an eye, while the character 泪 is a phonetic compound of the character 水 (shuǐ), meaning "water," and the character 累 (lèi), meaning "to flow." Thus, the character 泪 can be understood as "water that flows from the eyes." The compound 眼泪, therefore, literally means "eye tears" or "tears from the eyes."
