全球
quánqiú · HSK 3
global
🌍 全 (whole) + 球 (ball/sphere) = the whole sphere = global
全 means complete or whole; 球 means ball or sphere, and by extension the Earth (地球 = earth-ball). Together 全球 literally reads as whole-sphere, i.e. the entire globe.
全 — enter 入 on top + jade 玉
Originally written as 入 (enter) over 玉 (jade), depicting a complete, unflawed piece of jade kept in storage. From this image of a perfect jade came the meanings 'whole,' 'complete,' and 'entire.' The top component is sometimes written as 人.
球 — jade radical 玉/王 + qiu 求 (phonetic)
球 is a semantic-phonetic compound. The left side 王 is the 'jade' radical, indicating the original meaning: a fine piece of jade or a jade ornament. The right side 求 supplies the sound 'qiu'. Over time the meaning broadened from a jade sphere to any round object, and today it most commonly means 'ball' or 'globe'.
