About

The Chinese word "罗马" is formed through phonetic transliteration, where the character "罗" (luó) is chosen to approximate the sound "Ro" and "马" (mǎ) to approximate "ma", together creating a pronunciation that mimics the foreign name "Rome" without conveying the literal meanings of the individual characters.
