Word origin

下 (xià, "down") + 架 (jià, "rack") first described taking goods down from a rack, and the same image now extends to removing a product from a digital display.

Usage tips

  • Online shopping can use 下架 (xiàjià, "take off the shelf") for a temporary removal, so a missing listing does not by itself show that the product is permanently discontinued.

Other meanings

  • withdraw from saleverb
