The Chinese word 投资 (tóuzī) is composed of two characters: 投 (tóu) and 资 (zī). The character 投 originally meant "to throw" or "to cast," and in the context of investing, it refers to the act of putting money into a venture or project. The character 资 originally meant "wealth" or "resources," and in the context of investing, it refers to the money or assets that are being invested. Together, the two characters 投资 literally mean "to throw money into something," which captures the essence of the concept of investing.
