Etymology & Components

The Chinese word 栏目 (lǎn mù) is a compound word consisting of two characters: 栏 (lán) and 目 (mù). The character 栏 originally meant "a railing" or "a barrier", and in modern Chinese it is often used to refer to a "column" or a "section" in a newspaper or magazine. The character 目 originally meant "an eye", and in modern Chinese it is often used to refer to a "category" or a "topic". When these two characters are combined, 栏目 (lǎn mù) takes on the meaning of "a column" or "a section" in a newspaper or magazine.
