炸
掉

About

The word 炸掉 is formed by combining the character 炸, which depicts the action of exploding or bursting apart with sudden force, with the character 掉, which conveys a sense of falling away, dropping off, or being gone. Together, they create a composite action where the initial violent, scattering force of 炸 is conceptually completed by the resultant state of destruction, removal, or collapse implied by 掉, visually merging the blast and its vanishing aftermath into a single idea of "blow up and away".
