Etymology & Components

The Chinese word 传递 (chuándì) is composed of two characters: 传 (chuán) and递 (dì). The character 传 originally meant "to pass on" or "to hand down", and was often used in the context of passing on knowledge or traditions. The character 递 originally meant "to deliver" or "to transport", and was often used in the context of delivering goods or messages. When combined, the two characters 传递 (chuándì) took on the meaning of "to transmit" or "to pass on", and is now commonly used in the context of transmitting information, data, or goods.
