The Chinese word 阳台 (yángtái) for "balcony" is composed of two characters: 阳 (yáng) and 台 (tái). The character 阳 originally meant "the sunny side of a hill" and later came to mean "sunlight" or "positive". The character 台 originally meant "a high platform" or "stage" and later came to mean "balcony" or "terrace". The combination of these two characters creates the word 阳台, which refers to a platform or terrace that is exposed to sunlight, typically attached to the exterior of a building.
