About

The Chinese word "威士忌" is formed by phonetically transliterating the English word "whisky", with each character representing a similar sound: "威" (wēi) approximates "whi", "士" (shì) approximates "s", and "忌" (jì) approximates "key", resulting in a combined pronunciation that mimics the original term.
