网址
wǎng zhǐ · HSK 4
web address
🌐 网址 = 网 (net/web) + 址 (address)
网 means net or web, and 址 means site or address — so 网址 literally decomposes as web + address, matching the English meaning URL. 址 shares its phonetic with 止 (zhǐ, stop), giving the pronunciation.
网 — net radical 冂 + 亡 (phonetic)
網 (simplified 网) originally pictured a hunting or fishing net, with crossed mesh lines inside a frame. The modern simplified form 网 keeps that net shape directly. The traditional 網 adds 糸 (silk thread) for the material and 亡 as a phonetic hint for the wǎng sound.
