Etymology & Components

The Chinese word 制造 (zhìzào) is composed of two characters: 制 (zhì) and 造 (zào). The character 制 originally meant "to make" or "to create", and it is often used in the context of manufacturing or production. The character 造 originally meant "to build" or "to construct", and it is often used in the context of architecture or engineering. When these two characters are combined, they form the word 制造, which means "to manufacture" or "to produce". This word is commonly used in the context of industrial production or the creation of goods.
