番茄
fān qié
tomato
foreign (番) + eggplant plant (茄) = tomato
番 evokes something foreign or exotic, and 茄 is the plant character used for eggplant and its relatives. Together they name the 'foreign eggplant' — tomatoes arrived in China from abroad and were tagged as an unfamiliar cousin of the eggplant.
