About
The word 位于 is formed by combining the character 位, meaning "position" or "location", with the character 于, a classical preposition meaning "at", "in", or "to". This creates a modern verb where the nominal concept of "position" (位) is semantically activated by the relational function of 于, yielding the combined sense of "to be located at". It is a classical syntactic construction fossilized into a single lexical unit.
