The Chinese word 裙子 (qúnzi) for "skirt" is composed of two characters: 裙 (qún) and 子 (zi). The character 裙 originally meant "a piece of cloth wrapped around the body," and it was later used to refer specifically to skirts. The character 子 is a diminutive suffix, and it is often used to form nouns that refer to small objects or things. In the case of 裙子, the character 子 is used to indicate that a skirt is a small piece of clothing.The word 裙子 has been used in Chinese for centuries, and it is found in many different texts. For example, it is mentioned in the Shijing, a collection of ancient Chinese poems, and it is also used in the works of Confucius and other classical Chinese philosophers. Today, 裙子 is still a commonly used word in Chinese, and it is used to refer to skirts of all different styles and lengths.
