Étymologie et composants

The Chinese word 背心 (bèixīn) for "vest" is a compound of two characters: 背 (bèi), meaning "back", and 心 (xīn), meaning "heart". The term 背心 literally translates to "back heart", which refers to the garment worn on the upper body, covering the back and chest area. The character 背 (bèi) is often used in Chinese to indicate the back or rear side of something, while 心 (xīn) represents the center or core. Together, the two characters 背心 form a descriptive term for a vest, which is a sleeveless garment worn over the torso, covering the back and chest.
