The word 出击 is a compound verb formed by combining two meaningful characters: 出 (chū), meaning "to go out" or "to emerge", and 击 (jī), meaning "to strike" or "to attack". It follows a standard verb-complement structure in Chinese morphology, where the first character indicates the direction or initiation of an action (出, outward movement), and the second character specifies the core action itself (击, to attack). Together, they create a synergistic meaning of "to launch an attack" or "to sally forth", conveying a sense of proactive, offensive movement against a target, commonly used in both military and metaphorical contexts (like in sports or business) to describe taking initiative.
