The Chinese word "窗口" (chuāng kǒu) is composed of two characters: "窗" (chuāng) and "口" (kǒu). The character "窗" originally meant "a hole in a wall to let in light and air". It is composed of the radical "戶" (hù), which represents a door or window, and the phonetic component "窗" (chuāng). The character "口" (kǒu) means "mouth" or "opening". When combined, the two characters "窗" and "口" form the word "窗口", which literally means "window opening". In modern Chinese, "窗口" is used to refer to a window in a building or a metaphorical "window" or opportunity.
