About

The Chinese word "梳乎厘" is formed solely through phonetic transliteration of the English "soufflé", with each character, 梳 (shū), 乎 (hū), and 厘 (lí), chosen exclusively for its sound to approximate the pronunciation of the original term, thereby creating a loanword without semantic contribution from the characters themselves.
