The Chinese word 智能 (zhìnéng) is composed of two characters: 智 (zhì) and 能 (néng). 智 means "intelligence" or "wisdom", while 能 means "ability" or "capacity". Together, they form the compound word 智能, which means "intelligence" or "intellectual ability".The character 智 is derived from the oracle bone script, which is the earliest known form of Chinese writing. In the oracle bone script, 智 is depicted as a person with a large head, indicating intelligence. The character 能 is also derived from the oracle bone script, and it is depicted as a person with a strong arm, indicating ability.The compound word 智能 first appeared in the Chinese language during the Warring States period (475-221 BC). It was used by the philosopher Xunzi to describe the human capacity for learning and understanding. In the centuries that followed, 智能 became a common word in Chinese, and it is now used in a variety of contexts to refer to intelligence, intellectual ability, and artificial intelligence.
