About

The word 诊所 is formed by combining two characters: 诊, which means "to diagnose" or "to examine (medically)", and 所, which means "a place" or "a location". Together, they create a compound whose literal meaning is "a place for diagnosis", which directly and logically defines the concept of a "clinic" or a small medical office.
