The Chinese word 收入 (shōurù) for "income" is composed of two characters: 入 (rù) and 入 (rù). The character 入 (rù) means "to enter" or "to come in," while the character 入 (rù) means "to go in" or "to come in." Together, the two characters 收入 (shōurù) mean "to come in" or "to receive." This is a fitting name for the concept of income, as it refers to the money or other resources that come into a person's or organization's possession over a period of time.
