The Chinese word 厨房 (chúfáng) for "kitchen" is composed of two characters: 厨 (chú) and 房 (fáng). The character 厨 originally meant "a place to cook", and it is composed of the radical 宀 (miàn), which indicates a building or a room, and the character 竈 (zào), which means "stove" or "cooking range". The character 房 originally meant "a room", and it is composed of the radical 宀 (miàn) and the character 方 (fāng), which means "square" or "rectangular". When combined, the characters 厨 and 房 form the word 厨房, which specifically refers to a room or building where cooking is done.
