Word origin
题 (tí, "problem/title") originally referred to the forehead, then extended to a heading and from there to a written matter set for consideration.
Usage tips
- For school exercises, 一道题 (yí dào tí, "one exercise") is the natural unit, so this classifier marks one complete item rather than the whole subject.
