The Chinese word 毕业生 (bìyèshēng), meaning "graduate", is a logically constructed compound noun formed by combining three characters: 毕 (bì, to finish), 业 (yè, here referring to studies or coursework), and 生 (shēng, person). It follows a common grammatical pattern in Chinese where a verb-object phrase (毕业, "to complete studies") is combined with a noun (生, "person") to create a new noun that denotes the person performing the action, thus, "a person who has completed their studies". This structure is analogous to English formations like "draft+person" becoming "drafter" or "type+writer" becoming "typewriter", demonstrating how Chinese efficiently creates agentive nouns through semantic compounding.
