Short for chinaware
chinaware的簡寫

<注釋>Our termchina for porcelain or ceramic ware is a shortening of chinaware and probably china dishes. Although the wordchina is identical in spelling to the name of the country, there are 'th- and 7th-century spellings likechiney, cheny, and cheney that reflect the borrowing into English of the Persian term for this porcelain,chono. The Persian word and the Sanskrit wordcon3ô, .Chinese people,. which gave us the English name for the country, go back to the Chinese wordQin, the name of the dynasty that ruled China from 22 to 20'b.c.
我們所說的表示瓷器或陶器的詞china 是 chinaware 或者可能是 china dishes 的縮寫形式。 雖然china 這個詞拼寫上與中國的國名是一樣的， 但'和7世紀時也有chiney，cheny 和 cheney 等拼法， 表明英語借用了波斯語中表示這種瓷器的詞，chini 。 這個波斯詞，還有梵語中cinah 一詞（.中國人.，英語中中國的名稱即從這個詞而來）， 都來自漢語里的Qin 字， 這是從公元前 22至20'年統(tǒng)治中國的王朝的名稱
