Etymology & Components

The Chinese word 疑问 (yíwèn) means "doubt" or "question". It is composed of two characters: 疑 (yí), which means "doubt" or "suspect", and 问 (wèn), which means "ask" or "question". The character 疑 is a pictograph of a person with a hand over their mouth, which represents the act of thinking or pondering. The character 问 is a pictograph of a person with their mouth open, which represents the act of speaking or asking a question. Together, the two characters 疑 and 问 form the word 疑问, which means "doubt" or "question".
