Etymology & Components

The Chinese word "双打" (shuāng dǎ) is composed of two characters: "双" (shuāng) and "打" (dǎ). The character "双" means "double" or "pair", while the character "打" means "to hit" or "to strike". Together, the two characters form the word "双打", which literally means "double hit" or "double strike". In the context of sports, "双打" is used to refer to a doubles match, in which two players from each team compete against each other. The term is commonly used in sports such as tennis, badminton, table tennis, and volleyball. For example, in tennis, a doubles match involves two players from each team hitting the ball back and forth over the net, with the aim of scoring points and winning the match.
