The Chinese word 薯片 (shǔ piàn) for potato chips is a compound of two characters: 薯 (shǔ), meaning "potato", and 片 (piàn), meaning "slice" or "chip". The word 薯片 is therefore literally translated as "potato slice" or "potato chip".The character 薯 (shǔ) is derived from the Chinese character 薯蓣 (shǔ yù), which is the name of a type of yam. The character 片 (piàn) is derived from the Chinese character 翩 (piān), which means "to fly" or "to flutter". The combination of these two characters creates the word 薯片 (shǔ piàn), which is used to refer to potato chips.The word 薯片 (shǔ piàn) is a relatively new word in the Chinese language. It was first used in the early 20th century, when potato chips were introduced to China from the West. The word quickly became popular, and it is now the standard Chinese word for potato chips.
