The Chinese word 儿科 (érkē) for "pediatrics" is composed of two characters: 儿 (ér) and 科 (kē). The character 儿 (ér) means "child" or "children", while the character 科 (kē) means "branch of study" or "department". Together, 儿科 (érkē) literally means "the branch of study of children" or "the department of children". This term is used in Chinese to refer to the medical specialty that deals with the health and well-being of children, including their physical, mental, and emotional development.
