About
The word 数据库 (shùjùkù) is formed by combining two existing concepts into a new, metaphorically logical compound. It directly translates the English term "database" by taking 数据 (shùjù), meaning "data" or "numerical information", and attaching it to 库 (kù), which means "warehouse", "repository", or "storehouse". Thus, the compound creates the intuitive conceptual image of a "repository for data", visually framing digital information storage within the familiar idea of a physical storage building.
