The Chinese word 被告 (bèigào) for "defendant" is composed of two characters: 被 (bèi) and 告 (gào). 被 (bèi) originally meant "to cover" or "to be covered", but in this context, it has the extended meaning of "to be subjected to" or "to be affected by". 告 (gào) means "to tell" or "to inform", and in this context, it refers to the act of bringing a legal case against someone.Therefore, the word 被告 (bèigào) literally means "the one who is being told against" or "the one who is being accused". It is used in legal contexts to refer to the person or organization that is being sued or charged with a crime.
