The Chinese word **假冒** is formed through the compound method, combining two independent characters, each with its own meaning, to create a new, specific concept. The first character, **假 (jiǎ)**, means "false" or "fake," while the second, **冒 (mào)**, carries the meaning of "to impersonate" or "to pass oneself off as." When joined, they create a verb meaning "to counterfeit," "to forge," or "to fraudulently imitate," where the action (冒) is defined by its deceptive, false (假) nature, effectively describing the act of presenting something inauthentic as genuine, such as in **假冒产品 (jiǎmào chǎnpǐn)** or "counterfeit goods."
