The Chinese word 采访 (cǎifǎng) is a compound word consisting of two characters: 采 (cǎi) and 访 (fǎng). The character 采 originally meant "to pick" or "to gather", and in the context of 采访, it refers to the act of collecting information. The character 访 originally meant "to visit" or "to seek out", and in the context of 采访, it refers to the act of going to a place or person to obtain information. Therefore, the word 采访 literally means "to gather information by visiting or seeking out", which accurately captures the essence of the journalistic activity it represents.
