Word origin

The compact form 质 (zhì, "quality") + 保 (bǎo, "assurance") comes from expressions such as 质量保证 (zhìliàng bǎozhèng, "quality assurance") and 质量保修 (zhìliàng bǎoxiū, "quality warranty").

Usage tips

  • Commercial terms can assign responsibility to the maker, the seller, or both, so the responsible party and exclusions matter as much as the length of coverage.
