About

The word 窗口 is formed through a vivid conceptual blend: it combines the character 窗 (chuāng), meaning "window" as a physical architectural opening, with 口 (kǒu), meaning "opening" or "mouth". This pairing creates a reinforced image of an "aperture" or a "portal". It visually and metaphorically extends the idea of a physical window, an opening in a wall for light and view, to abstract any interface or point of access, such as a computer window or a service counter, which serves as an "opening" to another space, system, or function.
