The Chinese word **借助** is a compound verb formed through the combination of two independent characters: **借** (jiè), meaning "to borrow" or "to rely on," and **助** (zhù), meaning "to assist" or "help." The formation follows a common grammatical pattern in Chinese known as a **verb-complement** or **coordinative compound**, where the first character (**借**) describes the primary action (relying/borrowing), and the second character (**助**) specifies the purpose or result of that action (to gain assistance). Together, they merge into a single lexical unit meaning "to make use of something/someone for help" or "with the aid of," where the combined meaning is more specific and idiomatic than a simple sum of its parts, emphasizing the instrumental use of an external resource to achieve an objective.
