About

The word "神经" is formed by combining the character "神", meaning "spirit" or "divine", with "经", meaning "channel" or "pathway", to create a literal sense of "spirit channels", which in modern Chinese denotes "nerves" or the "nervous system", reflecting traditional concepts of vital energy pathways adapted for anatomical terminology.
