Word origin

收藏 (shōucáng, "to collect and store") joins 收 (shōu, "gather") + 藏 (cáng, "store away"), which gives the digital use its sense of keeping selected content for later.

Usage tips

  • A saved item normally stays linked to the account's saved-items page, while downloading normally creates a separate copy on the device; this distinction helps interpret app menus accurately.
