Etymology & Components

The Chinese word 出场 (chūchǎng) is composed of two characters: 出 (chū), meaning "to go out" or "to appear", and 场 (chǎng), meaning "place" or "arena". Together, these characters form the word 出场, which literally means "to go out on stage" or "to make an appearance". In the context of performing arts, 出场 is used to refer to the act of an actor or performer entering the stage or appearing before an audience. It can also be used more broadly to refer to the act of someone making an appearance in public or in a particular setting. For example, 出场 can be used to describe the entrance of a politician at a press conference or the arrival of a celebrity at a red carpet event.
