About

The Chinese word 撒旦 is formed through phonetic transliteration, where the characters 撒 (sā) and 旦 (dàn) are selected solely for their pronunciation to approximate the sound of the English word "Satan", creating a term that replicates the foreign name without conveying meaning through the individual characters.
