楼下

นิรุกติศาสตร์และส่วนประกอบ

The Chinese word "楼下" is composed of two characters: "楼" and "下". The character "楼" originally meant "a tall building" or "a tower", and it is believed to have originated from the pictograph of a building with multiple stories. Over time, the meaning of "楼" expanded to include any building with multiple floors, such as an apartment building or an office building. The character "下" means "below" or "down", and it is often used to indicate a location that is lower than the speaker's current position. When combined, the characters "楼下" literally mean "below the building", and they are used to refer to the ground floor or the first floor of a building. In some cases, "楼下" can also be used to refer to the area immediately outside of a building, such as the courtyard or the parking lot.
