Word origin

粘贴 (zhāntiē, "paste") combines 粘 (zhān, "sticky") + 贴 (tiē, "attach"), so its physical sense naturally extends to putting copied information into a selected spot.

Usage tips

  • The surrounding noun often makes the setting clear: a label suggests a physical surface, while a link or sentence suggests a screen.
