About

The Chinese word 分娩 (fēnmiǎn), meaning "to give birth", is a compound term formed through semantic combination. The first character, 分 (fēn), carries the meaning of "to separate" or "to divide", while the second, 娩 (miǎn), specifically denotes "childbirth" or "delivery". Together, they create a vivid and logical concept: the process of childbirth, where the child is separated from the mother's body. This formation is typical of many Chinese words, where two meaningful characters are combined to precisely define a complex action or idea.
