定价 (dìngjià, "set a price") is built from 定 (dìng, "fix") and 价 (jià, "price"), so the compound centers on making a price firm for a sale.

Usage tips

  • English often uses price for both the amount and the act of choosing it, whereas Chinese separates the action from the resulting amount in ordinary business wording.
