The Chinese word 发票 (fā piào) is a compound word consisting of two characters: 发 (fā) and 票 (piào). The character 发 (fā) means "to send out" or "to issue", while the character 票 (piào) means "a ticket" or "a receipt". Together, the two characters 发票 (fā piào) literally mean "to issue a ticket" or "to issue a receipt". In modern Chinese, 发票 (fā piào) is used specifically to refer to an invoice, which is a commercial document that itemizes the goods or services provided by a seller to a buyer, and the amount of money owed by the buyer.
