Étymologie et composants

The Chinese word 早上 (zǎoshang) for "morning" is composed of two characters: 早 (zǎo) and 上 (shàng). The character 早 originally meant "sunlight" or "dawn" and was later extended to mean "early" or "morning". The character 上 originally meant "to ascend" or "to go up" and was later extended to mean "above" or "on top". When combined, the two characters 早上 literally mean "the time when the sun ascends" or "the time when it is light outside". This meaning is consistent with the way we use the word "morning" in English to refer to the period of time from sunrise to noon.
