The Chinese word 急需 is a compound formed by combining two individual characters, each contributing its core meaning to create a new, specific concept. The first character, 急 (jí), means "urgent" or "pressing", conveying a sense of immediacy and haste. The second character, 需 (xū), means "to need" or "a requirement". When placed together, they form a verb or adjective meaning "to urgently need" or "to be in dire need of", where 急 intensifies the necessity expressed by 需, resulting in a term that denotes a critical and immediate demand for something.
