Word origin

报 (bào, "report") + 案 (àn, "case") + 人 (rén, "person") literally forms the person who reports a case, making the compound transparent in formal reporting contexts.

Usage tips

  • The person named here need not be the victim: a witness or authorized representative may make the report, so the role marks who gives the initial account rather than who suffered the loss.
