Computer (literally: Electric Brain)

Free Chinese vocabulary flashcard · HSK 1

Why does 电脑 look like this?

'电' (lightning/electricity) + '脑' (brain). Together, they literally mean 'electric brain,' which is a perfect way to describe a computer! '电' shows electricity flowing, and '脑' combines the meat/body radical '月' with a symbol for the head/wisdom.
