The Chinese word 电源 (diànyuán) for "power supply" is composed of two characters: 电 (diàn) and 源 (yuán). The character 电 (diàn) means "electricity" and is derived from the Chinese character 闪电 (shǎndiàn), which means "lightning". The character 源 (yuán) means "source" and is derived from the Chinese character 泉源 (quányuán), which means "spring". Together, the two characters 电源 (diànyuán) literally mean "electricity source" and refer to the device that provides electrical power to a device or system.
