Étymologie et composants

The Chinese word 车站 (chēzhàn) for "train station" is a compound of two characters: 车 (chē) meaning "vehicle" or "car", and 站 (zhàn) meaning "station" or "stop". The character 车 originally depicted a simple two-wheeled cart, while the character 站 originally depicted a person standing under a shelter. Over time, the meanings of these characters evolved and they came to be used together to refer to a place where vehicles stop and people can get on or off. The word 车站 is now commonly used to refer to train stations, bus stations, and other similar places.
