The word **挤出 (jǐ chū)** is formed through a standard Chinese morphological process called **verb-complement compounding**, where the first character **挤 (jǐ)**, meaning "to squeeze" or "to press," acts as the main action, and the second character **出 (chū)**, meaning "to exit" or "to come out," functions as a directional result complement. Together, they create a single semantic unit meaning "to squeeze out" or "to extrude." This structure implies that the action of pressing or crowding leads directly to the result of something exiting or emerging, a pattern common in Chinese for describing an action and its immediate outcome. The word can be used literally (e.g., squeezing out toothpaste) or figuratively (e.g., squeezing out time from a busy schedule).
