The Chinese word 体育场 (tǐyùchǎng), meaning "stadium" or "sports field", is a compound noun formed through semantic combination: 体 (tǐ) means "body", 育 (yù) means "to nurture" or "education", together forming 体育 (tǐyù), which translates to "physical education" or "sports"; this is then combined with 场 (chǎng), meaning "venue", "field", or "ground", to create the complete meaning of "a venue for sports activities". Thus, the term is constructed logically by specifying the type of venue (场) designated for the purpose of physical exercise and sport (体育).
