About
The word 数据 (shùjù, meaning "data") is formed by combining two independent characters, each contributing a core conceptual piece: 数 (shù) means "number" or "to count", representing the quantitative aspect, while 据 (jù) means "basis", "evidence", or "to rely on", representing the foundational, factual aspect. Together, they conceptually fuse to mean "numerical evidence" or "that which calculation is based upon", effectively creating the modern compound term for "data".
