Word origin

分拣员 (fēnjiǎnyuán, "sorter") combines 分 (fēn, "separate"), 拣 (jiǎn, "select"), and 员 (yuán, "worker"), so its form describes a person who separates selected items.

Usage tips

  • In English, sorter may refer to the worker, equipment, or software, so the Chinese word is useful when the role of the human worker needs to be clear.
