The Chinese word 分数 (fēnshù) for "fraction" or "score" is composed of two characters: 分 (fēn) and 数 (shù). The character 分 (fēn) originally meant "to divide" or "to separate" and was often used in the context of dividing something into equal parts. The character 数 (shù) originally meant "number" or "quantity" and was often used to refer to a specific amount or value. When these two characters are combined to form 分数 (fēnshù), the meaning becomes "a number that represents a part of a whole" or "a score that represents a person's performance". In modern Chinese, 分数 (fēnshù) is commonly used in the context of mathematics, education, and sports to refer to fractions, scores, and grades.
