The Chinese word **击毙 (jībì)** is a **verb-object compound** formed by combining the character **击 (jī)**, meaning "to strike" or "to attack," with **毙 (bì)**, meaning "to die" or "to perish." This combination creates a single, specific verb meaning "to shoot dead" or "to kill (with a weapon)," where the first character denotes the action (a forceful strike) and the second character denotes the definitive result (death). It is a formal and definitive term, most commonly used in contexts like military, law enforcement, or news reports to describe the act of killing someone with a firearm or similar force.
