About
The word 牢房 is formed by combining two meaningful characters: 牢, which originally depicted an enclosed pen for animals and carries the core idea of "confinement" or "enclosure", and 房, which means "room" or "chamber". Together, they conceptually fuse to create a new, specific meaning: the character for "room" is placed within and defined by the character for "confinement", resulting in the idea of a "confinement room" or a prison cell.
