About
The word "炸死" is formed by combining the character 炸, meaning "to explode" or "to blast", with the character 死, meaning "to die". In this compound, 炸 represents the action, and 死 acts as a resultative complement indicating the outcome of that action, specifically death. Thus, the combination creates a verb meaning "to kill by exploding" or "to blow up to death", where the two characters together directly convey the cause and effect relationship.
