About

The word 冰块 is formed by directly combining two meaningful characters: 冰 (bīng), which means "ice", and 块 (kuài), which means "lump", "chunk", or "piece". Together, they create a compound word where the first character specifies the material and the second character describes its form, resulting in the clear and intuitive concept of an "ice cube" or a lump of ice.
