The Chinese word **抽签 (chōuqiān)**, meaning "to draw lots" or "to cast lots," is a compound verb formed through a logical verb-object construction: the character **抽 (chōu)** means "to draw out" or "to pull," while **签 (qiān)** refers to a "slip," "stick," or "lot" (often made of bamboo or paper). Combined, the term literally depicts the action of "drawing a slip/lot" from a container, a traditional method of randomization used for decision-making, divination, or games of chance, reflecting a direct and transparent morphological process where the action and its object are seamlessly merged to describe the complete cultural practice.
