About

基督 is formed through phonetic transliteration, where the characters 基 (jī) and 督 (dū) are selected solely to approximate the sounds of the Greek word "Christ". 基 corresponds to the "Chri" syllable, and 督 corresponds to the "st" syllable, combining to produce the pronunciation Jīdū. The inherent meanings of the characters are not relevant here, as they function purely as sound symbols for this foreign term.
