Debit是什么意思

"Debit" is a term used in accounting that means to increase a specific account on the left side of the account's ledger. It is typically used to record money that is withdrawn from or spent from a bank account, as well as to record money that is earned but not yet received (as a form of an advance or credit).

In the context of banking, a debit card is a card that allows you to make purchases and withdraw money from your bank account without having to write a check. When you use a debit card, the money is taken directly from your bank account.

In the context of accounting, a debit is used to increase the balance of an asset or expense account, or to decrease the balance of a liability, equity, or revenue account. For example, if you buy a new computer for your business, you would debit the asset account for the cost of the computer, and credit the cash or accounts payable account for the amount you paid for it.
