The word 搏击 (bójī) is a compound term formed by combining two semantically similar characters: 搏 (bó), which means "to fight", "to struggle", or "to combat", often implying close-quarters physical engagement, and 击 (jī), which means "to hit", "to strike", or "to attack". Together, they create a synergistic meaning that emphasizes active, combative fighting involving strikes and physical confrontation. This formation follows a common pattern in Chinese where two characters with related meanings are joined to form a more specific or intensified concept, in this case referring broadly to combat sports, martial arts, or hand-to-hand fighting.
