The word 休息室 is formed by logically combining three meaningful characters: 休息 (xiūxi), meaning "to rest", and 室 (shì), meaning "room". It is built by taking the core concept of "resting" and then specifying the type of place where that activity occurs, resulting in the straightforward compound idea of a "resting room" or lounge. This is a direct, conceptual assembly where the meaning of the whole is transparently derived from the sum of its parts.
