About

The Chinese word "棒球" (bàngqiú), meaning baseball, is formed by combining two characters: "棒" which means "bat" or "stick", and "球" which means "ball". This compound directly references the essential equipment used in the sport, a bat and a ball, thus creating a descriptive term that visually and conceptually captures the core activity of hitting a ball with a bat.
