In English: (boarded) floor, (wooden) floor, floorboard

Word origin: 板is composed of 木(wood) and 反( serves as the phonetic indication). It means "a board", especially "wooden board". The floor of an ancient house was normally paved with wooden boards and thus 地板 is used as such. It now refers to floor in general, regardless of the material.
