The Chinese word 跳高 (tiào gāo) for "high jump" is a compound of two characters: 跳 (tiào), meaning "to jump", and 高 (gāo), meaning "high". The word 跳高 is used in both Mandarin and Cantonese, and it is pronounced tiu go in Cantonese.The character 跳 (tiào) is a pictograph that depicts a person jumping. The character 高 (gāo) is a phonetic ideograph that combines the radical for "mountain" (山) with the phonetic component 高. The character 高 is also used in other words related to height, such as 高度 (gāo dù), meaning "height", and 高兴 (gāo xìng), meaning "happy".The word 跳高 (tiào gāo) is first attested in the 19th century, and it is likely that it was borrowed from English. The English word "high jump" is first attested in the 16th century, and it is thought to be a translation of the French word "saut en hauteur".
