The Chinese word 文件 (wénjiàn) is composed of two characters: 文 (wén) and 件 (jiàn). 文 originally meant "pattern" or "design", and later came to mean "writing" or "document". 件 originally meant "a piece of cloth" or "a garment", and later came to mean "an item" or "a file". Together, 文件 means "document" or "file".The word 文件 is first recorded in the 13th century, in the Yuan Dynasty. It was originally used to refer to official documents, but it has since come to be used more broadly to refer to any type of written document.The word 文件 is pronounced wénjiàn in Mandarin, man4 gin3 in Cantonese, and bûn-kiàn in Taiwanese Hokkien.
