The Chinese word 证书 (zhèngshū) is composed of two characters: 证 (zhèng) and 书 (shū). 证 originally meant "to witness" or "to prove", and was often used in the context of legal documents or contracts. 书 originally meant "to write" or "to record", and was often used in the context of books or letters. When combined, the two characters 证书 literally mean "a document that proves something". In modern Chinese, 证书 is used to refer to a certificate, diploma, or any other official document that serves as proof of a person's qualifications or achievements.
