The Chinese word "传输" (chuán shū) is composed of two characters: "传" (chuán) and "输" (shū). The character "传" originally meant "to pass on" or "to hand down", and was often used in the context of passing on knowledge or information. The character "输" originally meant "to transport" or "to carry", and was often used in the context of transporting goods or people. When combined, the two characters "传输" took on the meaning of "to transmit" or "to transfer", and are now commonly used in the context of transmitting data, information, or signals.
