The Chinese word **寝室 (qǐnshì)** is a compound noun formed by combining two meaningful characters: **寝 (qǐn)**, which means "to sleep" or "to rest," and **室 (shì)**, which means "room" or "chamber." Together, they create a precise and logical semantic unit where the first character modifies the second, resulting in the meaning "sleeping room" or "bedroom." This structure is typical in Chinese word formation, where two independent morphemes are joined to specify a particular type of place—in this case, a room specifically designated for sleeping, commonly referring to a dormitory room or a private bedroom.
