The Chinese word "账户" (zhànghù) is composed of two characters: "账" (zhàng) and "户" (hù). The character "账" originally meant "to count" or "to calculate", and it was often used in the context of accounting or bookkeeping. The character "户" originally meant "a door" or "a household", and it was later used to refer to a person or a family. When these two characters are combined, they form the word "账户", which literally means "an account for a person or a household". In modern Chinese, "账户" is used to refer to a bank account, a credit card account, or any other type of account that is used to track financial transactions.
