The Chinese word "传言" is composed of two characters: "传" and "言". "传" means "to transmit" or "to pass on", while "言" means "speech" or "words". Together, they form the compound word "传言", which literally means "to transmit words" or "to pass on speech". In the context of language, "传言" is used to refer to rumors, hearsay, or gossip – information that is passed from person to person without any concrete evidence or verification. It is often used in a negative sense, implying that the information is unreliable or untrustworthy.
