The Chinese word 吊死 (diàosǐ) is a verb-resultative compound formed by combining the verb 吊 (diào), meaning "to hang" (as by suspension), with the resultative complement 死 (sǐ), meaning "to die". This structure follows a common grammatical pattern in Chinese where the first character denotes the action, and the second character specifies the result of that action, thereby creating a single lexical unit meaning "to hang to death" or "to die by hanging".
