The word 战利品 is formed by combining three pictographic and ideographic characters into a single, concrete concept: 战 (zhàn) meaning "war" or "battle", 利 (lì) meaning "benefit" or "gain", and 品 (pǐn) meaning "article" or "object". Visually and conceptually, these components sequentially build the idea: first, the context of conflict ("war"), then the result of that conflict ("gain" or "spoils"), and finally, the materialization of that result into tangible "objects". Thus, the entire compound naturally and pictorially translates to "spoils of war", forming a complete narrative image of items acquired through victory in battle.
