It combines the character "电" (diàn), meaning "electric" or "electricity", with "脑" (nǎo), meaning "brain". The term is a purely semantic compound, creating the vivid image of an "electric brain" to describe a machine that performs logical operations and stores information, mirroring the functions of the human mind through electronic means.
