The Chinese word 波浪 (bō làng) for "wave" is composed of two characters: 波 (bō) and 浪 (làng). The character 波 originally meant "water splashing" and was used to describe the ripples on the surface of water. It is composed of the radical 水 (shuǐ) for "water" and the phonetic component 氵(shuǐ). The character 浪 originally meant "a large wave" and was used to describe the waves in the ocean. It is composed of the radical 水 (shuǐ) for "water" and the phonetic component 郎 (láng).The combination of 波 and 浪 creates the word 波浪, which is used to describe waves in general. The word 波浪 can be used in a variety of contexts, such as to describe the waves in the ocean, the waves in a river, or the waves in a swimming pool. It can also be used figuratively to describe something that is constantly changing or fluctuating, such as the stock market or the economy.
