Etymology & Components

The Chinese word 博客 (bókè) for "blog" is a compound of two characters: 博 (bó), meaning "extensive" or "wide-ranging", and 客 (kè), meaning "guest". The term 博客 was coined in the early 2000s as a Chinese translation of the English word "blog", which is a portmanteau of "web" and "log". The character 博 was chosen to convey the idea of a wide-ranging collection of information, while the character 客 was chosen to emphasize the interactive nature of blogging, where readers can leave comments and engage with the author. The term 博客 quickly gained popularity in China and is now the standard Chinese word for "blog".
