About

The word 晚餐 is formed by directly combining two meaningful characters: 晚 (wǎn), which means "evening" or "late", and 餐 (cān), which means "meal". It is a conceptually straightforward compound where the first character specifies the time of day, and the second character specifies the object or event, resulting in the combined meaning of "evening meal" or "dinner".
