The Chinese word 射击 (shèjī) for "shooting" is composed of two characters: 射 (shè) and 击 (jī). The character 射 originally meant "to hunt" or "to shoot an arrow", and it is composed of the radical 弓 (gōng), which represents a bow, and the phonetic component 矢 (shǐ), which represents an arrow. The character 击 originally meant "to strike" or "to hit", and it is composed of the radical 手 (shǒu), which represents a hand, and the phonetic component 击 (jī), which represents the sound of striking. When combined, the two characters 射 and 击 form the word 射击, which means "to shoot" or "to fire a gun".
