The Chinese word 木桩 (mùzhuāng), meaning "wooden stake" or "wooden pile," is a compound noun formed through a straightforward semantic combination of its two constituent characters: 木 (mù), meaning "wood" or "tree," acts as a modifier specifying the material, and 桩 (zhuāng), meaning "stake," "post," or "pile," serves as the core noun indicating the object's function. This structure follows the common Chinese morphological pattern of modifier-head, where the first element describes or limits the second, resulting in a clear and logical meaning—a stake that is made of wood.
