About

The word 凶杀 is formed by combining two characters: 凶, which conveys a sense of violence, ferocity, or ominous malice, and 杀, which means to kill. Together, they conceptually merge the nature of the act (brutal or vicious) with the act itself (killing) to create a single term specifically meaning "murder" or "homicide", emphasizing its violent and criminal character.
