Word origin
移动 (yídòng, "move") points to portability, while 支付 (zhīfù, "pay") names paying or settling a charge, so the compound identifies a portable payment method.
Usage tips
- The term is broader than paying by tapping a phone because app-based QR payments and other portable-terminal methods also fit it.
