The Chinese word 网页 (wǎngyè), meaning "webpage", is a straightforward compound formed by combining two characters: 网 (wǎng), which means "net" or "web" (here referring specifically to the internet), and 页 (yè), which means "page" or "sheet". The term is a direct semantic construction where the first character specifies the medium (the internet/network) and the second character denotes the object (a page), thus logically creating the concept of a single, discrete document or interface accessible via the World Wide Web. This follows a common pattern in modern Chinese for creating technical vocabulary by pairing a descriptive or categorical character with a functional one.
