The Chinese word 地址 (dìzhǐ) for "address" is composed of two characters: 地 (dì) and 址 (zhǐ). The character 地 (dì) originally meant "earth" or "land", and was later extended to mean "place" or "location". The character 址 (zhǐ) originally meant "foundation" or "base", and was later extended to mean "address" or "location". The combination of these two characters creates the word 地址 (dìzhǐ), which literally means "place foundation" or "location base", and is used to refer to a specific location or address.
