Etymology & Components

The Chinese word 岗位 (gǎngwèi) is a compound of two characters: 岗 (gǎng) and 位 (wèi). The character 岗 originally meant "a high place" or "a hill", and was later used to refer to a military post or a guard post. The character 位 originally meant "a position" or "a place", and was later used to refer to a person's status or rank. When combined, the two characters 岗 and 位 form the word 岗位, which means "a post" or "a position". In modern Chinese, 岗位 is often used to refer to a job or a position in a company or organization.
