website address
The Chinese word 网址 (wǎngzhǐ) for "website address" is a compound of two characters: 网 (wǎng), meaning "net" or "web", and 址 (zhǐ), meaning "address" or "location". The term 网址 was coined in the early days of the internet in China, when the internet was commonly referred to as the "information superhighway". The character 网 was chosen to represent the internet because it evokes the image of a vast network of interconnected computers, while the character 址 was chosen to represent the unique address of each website on the internet. The term 网址 has since become the standard Chinese word for "website address" and is widely used in both formal and informal contexts.
