The Chinese word "开机" is composed of two characters: "开" (kāi) and "机" (jī). The character "开" means "to open" or "to start", while the character "机" means "machine" or "device". Together, the two characters form the word "开机", which literally means "to open the machine" or "to start the device". In the context of computers, "开机" is used to refer to the process of turning on a computer or other electronic device.The word "开机" is first recorded in the Chinese dictionary "Cihai" in 1936. It is believed to have been coined by Chinese engineers and technicians in the early 20th century, when computers and other electronic devices were first introduced to China. The word "开机" quickly became popular and is now widely used in both spoken and written Chinese.In addition to its literal meaning, "开机" can also be used figuratively to refer to the beginning of a new project or undertaking. For example, a company might hold a "开机仪式" (kāijī yǐshì) to celebrate the start of a new construction project.
