Etymology & Components

The Chinese word 经验 (jīngyàn) is composed of two characters: 经验 (jīng) and 验 (yàn). The character 经验 (jīng) originally meant "to go through" or "to experience", and it is often used in the sense of "experience" or "knowledge gained through experience". The character 验 (yàn) originally meant "to examine" or "to test", and it is often used in the sense of "verification" or "confirmation". When these two characters are combined, they form the word 经验 (jīngyàn), which means "experience" or "knowledge gained through experience". This word is often used in the context of learning or education, and it can also be used in the context of scientific research or experimentation.
