The Chinese word 军事 (jūn shì) for "military" is composed of two characters: 军 (jūn) and 事 (shì). The character 军 originally meant "army" or "troops", and is composed of the radical 戈 (gē), which represents a weapon, and the character 工 (gōng), which represents strength or labor. The character 事 originally meant "affair" or "matter", and is composed of the radical 糸 (mì), which represents silk or thread, and the character 巳 (sì), which represents a snake. When combined, the characters 军 and 事 form the word 军事, which refers to military affairs or matters related to the military.
