About

The word "纪念日" is formed by first combining the characters 纪, meaning to record or chronicle, and 念, meaning to think or remember, creating the verb 纪念, which means to commemorate. This is then compounded with the character 日, meaning day, to form a noun that specifically denotes a day of commemoration, such as an anniversary or memorial day.
