Picture a book small enough to keep beside you while you work — not one you read through, but one you open at the page you need. Handbook is built exactly that way: hand plus book, the book you keep to hand.

可以想成：一本小到可以放在手邊、邊做事邊翻的書——你不會從頭讀到尾，而是需要哪一頁就翻哪一頁。handbook 的組成正是這個意思：hand（手）加 book（書），隨手可以拿到的那本書。中文的「手冊」在字面上剛好也對得上。
