The Chinese word 称号 (chēng hào) for "title" or "honorific title" is composed of two characters: 称 (chēng) and 号 (hào). The character 称 originally meant "to weigh" or "to measure", and later extended to mean "to call" or "to name". The character 号 originally meant "a signal" or "a sign", and later extended to mean "a name" or "a title". When combined, the two characters 称 and 号 form the word 称号, which refers to a title or honorific title that is given to a person or organization in recognition of their achievements or status.
