The Chinese word 证件 (zhèngjiàn) is a compound word consisting of two characters: 证 (zhèng) and 件 (jiàn). The character 证 originally meant "to prove" or "to verify", and was often used in the context of legal or official documents. The character 件 originally meant "a piece" or "an item", and was often used to refer to physical objects. When combined, the two characters 证件 (zhèngjiàn) took on the meaning of "certificate" or "document", specifically referring to official documents that serve as proof or verification of something. In modern Chinese, 证件 is commonly used to refer to identity cards, passports, driver's licenses, and other official documents that serve as proof of identity or authorization.
