About

The Chinese word 学生会 (xuéshēng huì), meaning "student union" or "student council," is a compound noun formed through a logical semantic and grammatical construction. It is created by combining the term 学生 (xuéshēng), which means "student," with the word 会 (huì), which means "association," "union," or "committee." Grammatically, this follows a modifier-head structure where 学生 acts as an attributive modifier specifying *what kind* of association it is—namely, one belonging to and operated by students. Therefore, the compound directly and transparently denotes an organized body formed by students.
