Word origin

框架 (kuāngjià, "framework") is built from 框 (kuāng, "frame") + 架 (jià, "support"), so its concrete image is a structure that surrounds and holds things in place.

Usage tips

  • When translating into English, singular framework normally needs a determiner, while Chinese can leave the noun without an article when context identifies it.
