About
The Chinese word 可卡因 (kěkǎyīn) is formed purely through a process of phonetic borrowing, where three existing characters are selected and combined not for their meanings, but specifically because their sounds, when spoken in sequence, closely approximate the pronunciation of the English word "cocaine". The characters 可 (kě), 卡 (kǎ), and 因 (yīn) act as phonetic symbols to mimic the foreign sound, resulting in a term created solely for its auditory resemblance to the original.
