The Chinese word 条件 (tiáojiàn) is composed of two characters: 条 (tiáo) and 件 (jiàn). 条 originally meant "a strip of cloth" or "a thread", and later extended to mean "a clause" or "an item". 件 originally meant "a piece of cloth" or "a garment", and later extended to mean "a thing" or "an object". The combination of these two characters creates the word 条件, which literally means "a strip of cloth" or "a piece of cloth". In modern Chinese, 条件 is used to mean "condition", "term", or "requirement". For example, the sentence "他满足了所有条件" means "He met all the conditions".
