The Chinese compound word "尾声" (wěishēng) is formed through metaphorical semantic extension, combining the character "尾" (wěi), meaning "tail," with "声" (shēng), meaning "sound" or "voice." Literally, it translates to "the tail-end sound," which metaphorically signifies the concluding part or final stages of an event, performance, or narrative. This formation follows a common pattern in Chinese where concrete body parts ("尾") are used to abstractly denote position or sequence, resulting in a term universally understood as an "epilogue," "coda," or simply "the end."
