The Chinese word 体重 (tǐzhòng) for "weight" is composed of two characters: 体 (tǐ), meaning "body", and 重 (zhòng), meaning "heavy". The term 体重 literally translates to "body weight" and is used to refer to the measure of the force of gravity on an object. In the context of human health and fitness, 体重 specifically refers to the weight of a person's body, often measured in kilograms (kg) or pounds (lbs). Understanding the etymology of 体重 provides insight into the Chinese language's descriptive approach to word formation and its emphasis on conveying meaning through the combination of characters.
