The Chinese word **极力 (jílì)** is formed through the compounding of two distinct morphemes: **极 (jí)**, which means "utmost" or "extreme," and **力 (lì)**, which means "strength" or "effort." In this coordinative (or parallel) compound, both components contribute semantically to create a new, unified meaning. The character **极** provides the sense of reaching a limit or peak, while **力** contributes the concept of power or exertion. When combined, they form an adverb meaning "to the utmost," "with all one's might," or "doing everything within one's power," effectively describing an action performed with maximum intensity and effort.
