About

The word 纸条 is formed by combining the character for "paper" (纸) with the character for "strip" or "slip" (条), creating a direct, visual compound that literally means "paper strip". This construction simply merges two concrete concepts, the material and its typical form, to name a common, everyday object: a slender piece of paper, like a note or message slip.
