About

The word is formed by combining three characters: 女 (nǚ), meaning "female"; 孩 (hái), meaning "child"; and finally 子 (zi), a common, often softening suffix used to form nouns. It builds conceptually from the general category of "female" to specify a "female child", with the final character 子 completing the term to naturally mean "girl" in everyday usage.
