Etymology & Components

The Chinese word 俱乐部 (jùlèbù) for "club" is a compound of two characters: 俱 (jù) and 乐 (lè). The character 俱 means "all together" or "complete," while 乐 means "music" or "enjoyment." The term 俱乐部 originally referred to a place where people could gather to enjoy music and other forms of entertainment. Over time, the meaning of the word expanded to include any type of organization or group where people come together for a common purpose. Today, 俱乐部 is used to refer to a wide variety of clubs and organizations, including sports clubs, social clubs, and business clubs.
