Etymology & Components

The Chinese word 技术 (jìshù) is composed of two characters: 技 (jì) and 术 (shù). The character 技 originally meant "skill" or "technique", and was often used in the context of martial arts or other physical activities. The character 术 originally meant "method" or "art", and was often used in the context of medicine or other specialized fields. Over time, the two characters came to be used together to refer to any type of specialized knowledge or skill, and the word 技术 (jìshù) was born. Today, 技术 (jìshù) is a common word in Chinese, and is used in a wide variety of contexts to refer to any type of technology or technical knowledge.
