The word "网站" (wǎngzhàn) is formed by combining two meaningful characters: "网" (wǎng), which means "net" or "web", and "站" (zhàn), which means "station" or "stop". It is a conceptual blend where the idea of a interconnected "web" (like the internet) is fused with the idea of a fixed "station" or point within that network. The resulting compound visually and notionally represents a specific, accessible location on the web, a website.
