Étymologie et composants

The Chinese word 妹妹 (mèimei) for "younger sister" is composed of two characters: 妹妹 (mèi) and 妹 (mèi). The character 妹妹 (mèi) originally meant "younger sister" or "younger female relative", and it is still used in this sense today. The character 妹 (mèi) is a variant of the character 妹 (mèi), which also means "younger sister". The character 妹 (mèi) is composed of two parts: the radical 女 (nǚ), which means "woman", and the phonetic component 末 (mò), which is pronounced similarly to the character 妹 (mèi). The character 妹 (mèi) is therefore a compound ideograph, combining the meaning of "woman" with the sound of the character 妹 (mèi).
