Étymologie et composants

The Chinese word 森林 (sēnlín) for "forest" is composed of two characters: 木 (mù) meaning "tree" and 林 (lín) meaning "grove" or "woods". The character 木 is one of the most basic Chinese characters, representing a single tree. The character 林 is a combination of two characters: 木 (mù) and 彡 (shān), which is a pictograph of a tree with branches. Together, the characters 木 and 林 create the word 森林, which refers to a large area of trees. The word 森林 is often used in a poetic or literary sense to describe a beautiful or majestic forest.
