About

The Chinese word **崇拜者** (chóngbàizhě, meaning "admirer" or "worshipper") is a compound word formed through a common morphological process in Chinese. It combines the verb **崇拜** (chóngbài, "to worship" or "to adore") with the nominal suffix **者** (zhě), which denotes a person who performs the action of the preceding verb. Thus, the structure is **Verb (崇拜) + Agent Suffix (者)**, literally creating "one who adores/worships." This pattern is highly productive in Mandarin, similar to English suffixes like "-er" or "-ist," and efficiently generates agent nouns from verbs or verbal phrases.
