Word origin

购物车 (gòuwùchē, "shopping cart") is formed from 购物 (gòuwù, "shopping") and 车 (chē, "vehicle"), first naming a vehicle for collected goods and then the matching online feature.

Usage tips

  • In everyday Chinese, the setting distinguishes a real 购物车 (gòuwùchē, "shopping cart") from the online feature, so store and website contexts help identify the intended sense.
