Etymology & Components

The Chinese word 参展 (cānzhǎn) is a compound word consisting of two characters: 参 (cān) and 展 (zhǎn). The character 参 (cān) has several meanings, including "to participate," "to join," and "to visit." The character 展 (zhǎn) means "to exhibit," "to display," or "to spread out." When combined, the two characters 参展 (cānzhǎn) literally mean "to participate in an exhibition" or "to join an exhibition." In the context of business and trade, 参展 (cānzhǎn) is used to refer to the act of participating in a trade show, exhibition, or fair as an exhibitor.
