Etymology & Components

The Chinese word 门票 (ménpiào) for "ticket" is composed of two characters: 门 (mén) and 票 (piào). The character 门 (mén) originally meant "door" or "gate", but it has also been used to refer to an entrance or a place of entry. The character 票 (piào) originally meant "a piece of paper" or "a document", but it has also been used to refer to a ticket or a pass. The combination of these two characters, 门票 (ménpiào), creates a word that specifically refers to a ticket that allows someone to enter a place.
