About
The word 得救 (déjiù, "to be saved/rescued") is formed through a verb-complement grammatical structure, where the character 得 (dé), which here functions as a suffix indicating achievement or possibility, is attached to the verb 救 (jiù, "to save/rescue"). This combination creates a resultative meaning, literally "to obtain rescue" or "to achieve being saved", and functions as a single intransitive verb describing the state or event of salvation from danger or peril, commonly used in both everyday and religious contexts.
