样

About
The word **样式** is a coordinative compound formed by combining two semantically related characters: **样**, meaning "model," "pattern," or "sample," and **式**, meaning "style," "form," or "type." Together, they create a single, more nuanced concept where each character reinforces the other, resulting in the meaning of "style," "design," or "format"—essentially, the particular form or pattern of something. This structure is common in Chinese for creating precise, abstract nouns.
