About

The word "歧视" is formed by combining two characters whose individual meanings create a new, metaphorical concept. The first character, "歧" (qí), originally means a fork in a road, conveying ideas of divergence, difference, or going astray. The second character, "视" (shì), means to look at, regard, or see. When fused, the term conceptually means "to look at someone as being divergent or on a separate path", which evolved into the abstract meaning of viewing a person or group as inherently different and inferior, thus forming the concept of "to discriminate against".
