Etymology & Components

The Chinese word 包装 (bāozhuāng) for "packaging" is composed of two characters: 包 (bāo) and 装 (zhuāng). The character 包 (bāo) originally meant "to wrap" or "to cover", and it is often used in the context of wrapping something up or enclosing it in a container. The character 装 (zhuāng) originally meant "to load" or "to fill", and it is often used in the context of putting something into a container or filling it up. When these two characters are combined to form the word 包装 (bāozhuāng), the meaning becomes "to package" or "to wrap something up". This word is commonly used in the context of packaging goods or products for transportation or storage.
