About

The Chinese word 受训 (shòuxùn) is a verb-object compound formed by combining the verb 受 (shòu), meaning "to receive" or "to undergo," with the noun 训 (xùn), which means "training," "instruction," or "discipline." In this syntactic structure, the first character 受 acts as the action, and the second character 训 serves as the object of that action, directly creating the meaning "to receive training" or "to undergo instruction." This formation is a standard and productive method in Chinese for creating new words, where the meaning of the compound is logically derived from the combination of its two constituent morphemes.
