About
The word **截获** is a compound verb formed by combining two characters, each contributing distinct but complementary meanings: **截** (*jié*), meaning "to intercept," "to cut off," or "to stop in transit," and **获** (*huò*), meaning "to capture," "to seize," or "to obtain." Together, they create a logical sequence of actions where one first *intercepts* something (like a message, vehicle, or signal) and then successfully *captures* or seizes it. This formation follows a common Chinese lexical pattern where two verb characters are joined to describe a more specific, two-stage process, resulting in the comprehensive meaning "to intercept and capture." It is frequently used in contexts involving communications, military operations, or data security.
