The Chinese word 剧本 (jùběn) for "script" is composed of two characters: 剧 (jù) and 本 (běn). The character 剧 originally meant "to perform" or "to act", and was later used to refer to a play or drama. The character 本 originally meant "root" or "origin", and was later used to refer to a book or document. When combined, the two characters 剧本 literally mean "the root of a play", and figuratively refer to the written text of a play or drama.
