Chew the word "exit" and "logout"

Every time I see the "logout" item of domestic games or websites, I always feel a little uncomfortable.

I remember the first time I saw "logout" was when I was playing games in my teens. In the 1980s and 1990s, games were basically imported from Japan, which looked like "cancellation" of Chinese characters. Although there is no such explanation in the dictionary, I know it means to quit in the process of use, but I didn't care. I just regard it as a (actually) foreign noun. It was also at this time that we already knew that the meanings of Chinese characters used in Japan were different from those we used.

When a university comes into contact with the Internet, all it sees is "login" and "exit". "Logout" is only seen in some games, and "Logout" is only a Japanese noun.

But suddenly one day, I saw "logout" in China's website/game, which was a bit incredible. The word "Deng" itself has the meaning of "entering". If you enter the room, how can you go in and out? This is not a "partial compound finger" in classical Chinese. Even if it is a "partial compound finger", what is it or what is it?

Baidu paused. The definition of the word "Deng" and the entry of "cancellation" are as follows.

As for "logout", it appears to replace "exit" and avoid confusing "exit" and "logout".

That's a joke. If it is purely to avoid confusion, you can use "exit account" and "exit website" directly. But it is estimated that there is no option to "exit the website". I haven't seen it anyway. Simple and rude. Usually I just click the red cross in the upper right corner. .

? "Logout" is obviously created to correspond to "login" and "exit" and "login".

? Long Exit-Login

Logout-Logon

But this formal correspondence separates the understanding of the meaning of words, while artificial words confuse our thinking.

? "Cancellation" is not in line with the thinking of China people. Should not be adopted by China websites/games.
