Word origin

The compound 网址 (wǎngzhǐ, "web address") joins 网 (wǎng, "network") with 址 (zhǐ, "site") to picture a place within a network.

Usage tips

  • Chinese uses 网址 (wǎngzhǐ, "web address") in ordinary conversation, while URL remains common in technical interfaces and documentation, so the two forms usually name the same digital locator.
