About

The word "杀人" is formed by combining the character "杀", which means "to kill", with the character "人", which means "person". This combination creates a verb-object structure where "杀" acts as the verb denoting the action, and "人" serves as the object receiving that action, directly resulting in the meaning "to kill a person" or "homicide".
