Word origin

吉 (jí, "lucky") + 祥 (xiáng, "auspicious") + 物 (wù, "thing") forms a compound for something associated with good fortune, later extending to a public representative.

Usage tips

  • The word does not by itself show whether an organization has formally adopted the symbol; that status comes from context rather than from the noun alone.
