About
The Chinese word **喷射 (pēnshè)** is a **verb-object compound** formed by combining two semantically related characters: **喷 (pēn)**, meaning "to spurt" or "to gush out," and **射 (shè)**, meaning "to shoot" or "to eject." Together, they create a single concept where the action of 喷 (the forceful expulsion) is directed through the means of 射 (a projectile or stream-like motion), resulting in a meaning of "to jet," "to spray," or "to eject forcefully," as in a jet engine or a spray nozzle. This formation exemplifies how Chinese compounds often synthesize two actions to produce a more specific and vivid meaning.
