The Chinese word 证据 (zhèngjù) for "evidence" is composed of two characters: 证 (zhèng) and 据 (jù). The character 证 originally meant "to bear witness" or "to testify", and it is often used in legal contexts. The character 据 originally meant "to rely on" or "to base on", and it is often used to indicate the basis or foundation for something. When these two characters are combined, they form the word 证据, which means "evidence" or "proof". This word is used in a variety of contexts, including legal proceedings, scientific research, and historical studies.
