The Chinese word **偶遇** is a compound term formed by combining two characters: **偶**, which means "by chance," "accidental," or "unexpected," and **遇**, which means "to meet" or "encounter." Together, they create a verb or noun meaning "a chance meeting" or "to meet by accident," where the first character modifies the second to convey the manner of the encounter—specifically, its unexpected and unplanned nature. This follows a common grammatical structure in Chinese where an adverb-like element (偶) precedes and describes a main action (遇). Both characters are standalone morphemes with their own meanings, and their combination is semantically transparent, making the word easily interpretable to native speakers.
