Word origin

归档 (guīdàng, "filing") combines 归 (guī, "put away or return") with 档 (dàng, "file or record") to describe placing a record in its proper storage.

Usage tips

  • In an email app, this action usually removes a message from the main inbox while keeping it available for later search, so it differs from sending the message to the trash.
