Short for chinaware
chinaware的简写

<注释>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.
我们所说的表示瓷器或陶器的词china 是 chinaware 或者可能是 china dishes 的缩写形式。 虽然china 这个词拼写上与中国的国名是一样的， 但'和7世纪时也有chiney，cheny 和 cheney 等拼法， 表明英语借用了波斯语中表示这种瓷器的词，chini 。 这个波斯词，还有梵语中cinah 一词（.中国人.，英语中中国的名称即从这个词而来）， 都来自汉语里的Qin 字， 这是从公元前 22至20'年统治中国的王朝的名称
