Word origin

到期日 (dàoqīrì, "expiration date") is formed from 到 (dào, "arrive") + 期 (qī, "period") + 日 (rì, "day"), giving the day when a set period reaches its endpoint.

Usage tips

  • On cards and bills, the surrounding noun shows whether the date concerns continued use, payment, or a financial contract, so the word should not automatically be read as a payment deadline.
