The Chinese word 诊断 (zhěn duàn) for "diagnosis" is composed of two characters: 诊 (zhěn) and 断 (duàn). The character 诊 originally meant "to observe" or "to examine," and was often used in the context of medical diagnosis. The character 断 originally meant "to cut off" or "to decide," and was often used in the context of making a judgment or decision. When combined, the two characters 诊断 (zhěn duàn) took on the meaning of "to make a diagnosis," which is the process of identifying a disease or condition based on its symptoms and signs.
