The Chinese word 专辑 (zhuānjí) is a compound word consisting of two characters: 专 (zhuān) and 辑 (jí). The character 专 means "special" or "exclusive", while the character 辑 means "to collect" or "to compile". Together, the two characters form the word 专辑, which literally means "a special collection". In the context of music, a 专辑 refers to an album, which is a collection of songs or musical pieces released together by an artist or band. The term 专辑 is also used to refer to other types of collections, such as a collection of essays or articles on a particular topic.
