About

The Chinese word "福尔摩斯" is formed through phonetic transliteration of the English name "Holmes", where each character is selected solely for its sound to approximate the original pronunciation: 福 (fú) for "Ho", 尔 (ěr) for "l", 摩 (mó) for "m", and 斯 (sī) for "s", resulting in the sequence "fú ěr mó sī" that mimics the name.
