The Chinese word 矿泉水 (kuàngquánshuǐ) is a compound word consisting of two characters: 矿 (kuàng) and 泉水 (quánshuǐ). The character 矿 (kuàng) means "mine" or "mineral", while the character 泉水 (quánshuǐ) means "spring water". Together, the two characters form the word 矿泉水 (kuàngquánshuǐ), which literally means "mineral spring water". This term is used to refer to water that comes from a natural spring and contains dissolved minerals, such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium. 矿泉水 is often considered to be healthier than regular tap water due to its higher mineral content.
