The Chinese word 服饰 (fúshì) is a compound noun formed by combining two characters with related meanings: 服 (fú), which specifically means "clothing" or "garments", and 饰 (shì), which means "adornments", "decorations", or "accessories". Together, they create a single, holistic concept that encompasses the entire domain of "apparel and adornments", effectively referring to one's complete attire including both the primary garments and the complementary items (like jewelry, scarves, or other embellishments) that constitute personal dress and style. This formation follows a common pattern in Chinese where two semantically linked characters are joined to express a broader, more comprehensive idea.
