About

The word "电视剧" is formed by combining the characters 电 (diàn), meaning "electric", 视 (shì), meaning "vision" or "viewing", and 剧 (jù), meaning "drama". The characters 电 and 视 first combine to create "电视" (television), and then 剧 is appended to specify the content type, resulting in the term for a television drama or series.
