About

The word 磁带 is formed by combining two characters: 磁 (cí), which means "magnetic", and 带 (dài), which means "ribbon", "belt", or "strip". It is a straightforward, descriptive compound where the first character specifies the material or principle (magnetism) and the second character specifies the physical form (a long, thin strip). Together, they visually and logically describe the object: a magnetic strip, which is precisely what a cassette tape or any magnetic recording tape is.
