The Chinese word 漫画 (màn huà) for "comic" is a compound of two characters: 漫 (màn), meaning "careless" or "casual," and 画 (huà), meaning "picture" or "drawing." The term "漫画" was first used in China in the late 19th century to refer to satirical illustrations and caricatures that were popular in newspapers and magazines. These early comics often featured humorous or critical depictions of current events and social issues.Over time, the meaning of 漫画 expanded to include a wider range of comic genres, including adventure stories, comedies, and romances. Today, 漫画 is the most common Chinese word for "comic," and it is used to refer to both domestic and international comics.The etymology of 漫画 reflects the evolution of the comic form in China. From its origins as a form of satire and social commentary, 漫画 has grown into a diverse and popular art form that appeals to readers of all ages.
