The Chinese word 航班 (hángbān) for "flight" is a compound of two characters: 航 (háng) and 班 (bān). The character 航 originally meant "to sail" or "to navigate", and is composed of the radical 舟 (zhōu) for "boat" and the phonetic component 航 (háng). The character 班 originally meant "to divide" or "to arrange", and is composed of the radical 殳 (shū) for "weapon" and the phonetic component 班 (bān). When combined, the two characters 航 and 班 form the word 航班, which literally means "sailing class" or "navigation class". This term is used to refer to a scheduled flight or a flight number, and is commonly seen in the context of air travel.
