The word "满怀" (mǎn huái) is formed through a classical Chinese grammatical structure known as a verb-object compound, where the first character 满 (mǎn), meaning "to fill", acts as the verb, and the second character 怀 (huái), meaning "bosom" or "heart" (in a figurative, emotional sense), acts as the object. Literally, it means "to fill the bosom/heart", and it functions as a verb or an adjective to describe a state of being completely filled with a specific emotion (e.g., hope, confidence, enthusiasm) or, when used as 一怀抱, a physical measure like "an armful". This formation exemplifies how Chinese frequently creates concise, evocative terms by combining an action with its metaphorical locus or target.
