The word "崭新" is formed through a vivid metaphorical combination: the first character "崭" originally depicts something steep or towering, like a cliff, and here it is used not for its literal meaning but to convey a sense of being strikingly high or extreme in degree. It pairs with the second character "新", which means "new", to act as an intensifier. Together, they create a meaning beyond simply "new", suggesting something that is brilliantly, exceptionally, or completely new, as if its newness is sharp, prominent, and unmistakable, much like the arresting profile of a steep peak.
