About
The word "接到" is formed through the morphological process of compounding, where two independent and meaningful characters (morphemes) are combined to create a new, specific meaning. The first character, 接 (jiē), carries the core meaning of "to receive" or "to connect with". The second character, 到 (dào), fundamentally means "to arrive" or "to reach". Their combination fuses these concepts into a single verb that conceptually depicts the completion of the receiving action, emphasizing that something (like a call, item, or message) has not just been received in the abstract, but has successfully reached and been taken in by the recipient.
