The Chinese word 包裹 (bāoguǒ) for "package" is composed of two characters: 包 (bāo) and 裹 (guǒ). The character 包 originally meant "to wrap" or "to enclose", and it is often used in the context of wrapping something up in cloth or paper. The character 裹 also means "to wrap" or "to cover", but it is more specifically used in the context of wrapping something around the body. When these two characters are combined, they create the word 包裹, which refers to a package or a parcel that is wrapped up and ready to be transported.
