About

The word 假发 is formed by directly combining two meaningful characters: 假 (jiǎ), meaning "fake" or "artificial", with 发 (fà), meaning "hair". It is a descriptive compound where the first element specifies the nature of the second, creating the straightforward and literal concept of "artificial hair", which is the word for "wig".
