The Chinese word 围栏 (wéilán), meaning "fence" or "enclosure," is a compound noun formed through semantic combination. The first character, 围 (wéi), carries the meaning of "to surround" or "to encircle," describing an action or state. The second character, 栏 (lán), means "railing," "fence," or "barrier," denoting an object. When combined, they create a head-modifier structure where 围 modifies 栏, resulting in the specific meaning of a "surrounding railing" or an "enclosing fence," effectively capturing the object's primary function within its name.
