股份 (gǔfèn, "shares") is formed from 股 (gǔ, "a divisible portion") + 份 (fèn, "an allotted share"), linking divided ownership with an assigned amount.

Usage tips

  • Private companies can also divide ownership into these units, so the word does not by itself imply a stock-market purchase or a publicly traded company.
