Word origin

票 (piào, "ticket or document") + 面 (miàn, "surface") combines the paper item with its visible side, giving the word its sense of the printed details on a ticket.

Usage tips

  • English speakers may hear face value as an abstract measure of worth, but this Chinese noun points to the actual printed details on the paper, not a person's importance or reputation.
