Étymologie et composants

The Chinese word 上午 (shàngwǔ) is composed of two characters: 上 (shàng) and 午 (wǔ). The character 上 means "above" or "upper", while the character 午 means "noon" or "midday". Together, these two characters form the word 上午, which literally means "the time before noon". In modern Chinese, 上午 is used to refer to the morning, specifically the period of time from sunrise to noon. It is often used in contrast to 下午 (xiàwǔ), which means "the time after noon" or "the afternoon".
