Etymology & Components

The Chinese word "后头" is composed of two characters: "后" (hòu) and "头" (tóu). The character "后" originally meant "behind" or "after", but it has also been used to refer to the back of something, the end of something, or the future. The character "头" originally meant "head", but it has also been used to refer to the beginning of something, the top of something, or the front of something.When the two characters "后" and "头" are combined, they form the word "后头", which means "the back of the head" or "the back". This word can also be used to refer to the future or the end of something. For example, the sentence "我回头再给你打电话" means "I will call you back later".The word "后头" is a common word in Chinese, and it is used in a variety of contexts. It is important to understand the etymology of this word in order to understand its meaning and how it is used.
