Etymology & Components

The Chinese word 渠道 (qǔdào) is composed of two characters: 渠 (qú) and 道 (dào). 渠 originally meant "ditch" or "canal", and was later extended to mean "channel" or "passage". 道 originally meant "road" or "path", and was later extended to mean "way" or "principle". Thus, the compound word 渠道 literally means "channel-way" or "passage-way", and is used to refer to a means or way of doing something. For example, it can be used to refer to a distribution channel or a sales channel.
