The Chinese word **洞察力** is formed through a logical and meaningful combination of morphemes: it begins with the verb **洞察** (*dòngchá*), which itself is a compound of **洞** (meaning "to see through" or "penetrate") and **察** (meaning "to examine" or "observe closely"), together creating the sense of "to see through and examine thoroughly," or "to have keen insight." The suffix **力** (*lì*), meaning "power," "capability," or "ability," is then appended, transforming the action into a nominalized quality, thus yielding the complete meaning of "the power/capability of keen insight" or **insightfulness**.
