Definition
映射 has two distinct meanings. Literally, it means 'to shine upon' — light or a shadow falling on a surface (e.g., moonlight on water). Technically, it is used in mathematics, linguistics, and computer science to mean 'mapping' or 'to map,' where elements of one set correspond to elements of another. The technical sense is far more common in modern usage.
