The Chinese word 卧室 (wòshì) for "bedroom" is composed of two characters: **卧** (wò) and **室** (shì). The character 卧 originally meant "to lie down" or "to sleep", and it is often used in words related to rest or relaxation, such as 卧床 (wòchuáng, "bed") and 卧铺 (wòpù, "sleeping berth"). The character 室 originally meant "room" or "chamber", and it is often used in words related to buildings or spaces, such as 教室 (jiàoshì, "classroom") and 办公室 (bàngōngshì, "office"). When combined, the characters 卧 and 室 form the word 卧室, which specifically refers to a room that is used for sleeping.
