The Chinese word **出行 (chūxíng)** is a compound formed by combining two characters, each contributing to the overall meaning: **出 (chū)**, meaning "to go out" or "to exit," and **行 (xíng)**, meaning "to travel" or "to go." Together, they create a verb that specifically means "to go on a journey" or "to go out (for travel)," effectively describing the action of departing from one's usual place for the purpose of travel or an outing. This structure is typical in Mandarin, where combining meaningful characters creates a new, more specific concept.
