About

The word "审问" is formed by combining the character "审", meaning to examine or investigate, which itself is composed of the radical "宀" (roof) over "申" (to state), indicating careful scrutiny, with the character "问", meaning to ask, composed of "门" (door) and "口" (mouth), denoting inquiry. Together, they create a compound meaning to interrogate through thorough questioning.
