About
The word 停车 is formed through the direct semantic combination of its two constituent characters: 停 (tíng), which means "to stop" or "to halt", and 车 (chē), which means "vehicle" or "car". It is a verb-object compound where the first character denotes an action and the second character specifies the object of that action. By fusing these concepts, the compound naturally and logically generates the meaning of "to stop a vehicle", which is understood in practice as "to park". The formation is purely conceptual, building a new, specific idea from two fundamental, concrete meanings.
