The Chinese word 旅店 (lǚdiàn) for "hotel" is composed of two characters: 旅 (lǚ) and 店 (diàn). The character 旅 originally meant "travel" or "journey", and was often used to refer to people who were traveling away from home. The character 店 originally meant "shop" or "store", and was often used to refer to places where people could buy goods or services. Over time, the two characters came to be used together to refer to places where travelers could stay overnight, and eventually the word 旅店 became the standard Chinese word for "hotel".
