The Chinese word 基地 (jīdì) is composed of two characters: 基 (jī) and 地 (dì). The character 基 originally meant "foundation" or "base", and was often used in the context of building construction. Over time, its meaning expanded to include the idea of a "starting point" or "origin". The character 地 originally meant "earth" or "land", but was also used to refer to a specific place or location. When combined, the two characters 基地 literally mean "base land" or "foundation land", and are used to refer to a military base, a research base, or any other type of facility that serves as a base of operations.
