The Chinese word **判定** (pàndìng) is a compound verb formed through the combination of two semantically similar characters: **判** (pàn), which means "to judge" or "to decide," and **定** (dìng), which means "to settle," "to fix," or "to conclude." This type of formation, where two characters with related meanings are joined, is common in Chinese and creates a word whose meaning is a reinforcement or a nuanced blend of its parts. Thus, **判定** means "to judge and settle," conveying the sense of making a definitive judgment or determination, such as in a legal verdict or a conclusive assessment.
