The Chinese word 昏倒 (hūndǎo, meaning "to faint" or "to pass out") is a verb-object compound formed through semantic combination: the first character 昏 (hūn) means "dizzy", "faint", or "dim", describing a state of consciousness, while the second character 倒 (dǎo) means "to fall" or "to collapse", indicating a physical action; together, they logically sequence to depict the event of succumbing to unconsciousness and falling down, thus creating a vivid and efficient lexical unit for the concept of fainting.
