About

The word "房租" is formed by directly combining two meaningful characters: "房" (fáng), which means "house" or "room", and "租" (zū), which means "rent" or "lease". It is a straightforward compound where the first character specifies the object (a dwelling), and the second character specifies the action or cost associated with it (the payment for its use), resulting in the combined meaning of "house rent" or "rent payment".
