The Chinese word 机械 (jīxiè) for "machinery" or "mechanics" is composed of two characters: 机 (jī) and 械 (xiè). The character 机 originally meant "a loom" or "a trap", and later extended to mean "a machine" or "a mechanism". The character 械 originally meant "a weapon" or "an instrument of punishment", and later extended to mean "machinery" or "mechanics". The combination of these two characters creates the word 机械, which refers to the field of study or practice that deals with the design, construction, and operation of machines.
