The Chinese word **妇科 (fùkē)**, meaning "gynecology," is a compound noun formed through semantic compounding, where two meaningful characters combine to create a new, specific term. The first character, **妇 (fù)**, means "woman" or "female," indicating the subject. The second character, **科 (kē)**, means "branch of study," "department," or "specialty," indicating a field of medicine. Thus, the term literally and logically translates to "the women's specialty" or "the branch of medicine for women," directly describing its medical focus. This formation is typical of technical Chinese vocabulary, where root characters are combined in a highly logical and transparent way to denote precise concepts.
