The Chinese word "打折" is composed of two characters: "打" and "折". The character "打" means "to hit" or "to strike", while the character "折" means "to break" or "to fold". When combined, the two characters form the word "打折", which literally means "to hit a discount". This term is used in Chinese to refer to the act of giving a discount on a product or service.The etymology of the word "打折" can be traced back to the ancient Chinese practice of bartering. In the past, when people traded goods, they would often negotiate the price by haggling. The buyer would try to get the seller to lower the price by offering a lower price or by threatening to walk away from the deal. The seller, in turn, would try to get the buyer to pay a higher price by emphasizing the quality of the goods or by offering a discount.Over time, the practice of haggling became formalized and the term "打折" was coined to refer to the act of giving a discount. The word "打折" is still used in Chinese today to refer to discounts, and it is a common sight to see signs advertising "打折" in stores and businesses.
