The word 站点 (zhàndiǎn) is a modern Chinese compound formed by combining two characters: 站 (zhàn), meaning "station" or "to stand," and 点 (diǎn), meaning "point" or "dot." It is a semantic compound where both elements contribute meaning, creating the concept of a "station point" or "stop." Originally used for physical transportation stops (like bus or train stations), its meaning has extended in the digital age to commonly refer to a "website" (as in a point or node on a network) through metaphorical extension, demonstrating how Chinese vocabulary evolves by applying existing character meanings to new technological contexts.
