Word origin

熨衣板 (yùnyībǎn, "ironing board") combines 熨 (yùn, "press with heat") + 衣 (yī, "clothing") + 板 (bǎn, "board"), so its name directly describes a board for pressing clothes.

Usage tips

  • In hotel and shared-laundry conversations, this noun helps identify the larger support needed for pressing clothes, not just the handheld appliance.

Other meanings
