About

The word "孩子" is formed by combining the character "孩", which itself is a semantic-phonetic compound with the radical "子" indicating "child" and the component "亥" providing phonetic hint, with the character "子" added as a nominal suffix that reinforces the meaning of offspring. This results in a disyllabic compound where both characters collectively denote "child".
