笑
About
The word 玩笑 is formed by combining two characters: 玩 (wán), meaning "to play" or "to amuse oneself", and 笑 (xiào), meaning "to laugh" or "laughter". The formation conceptually fuses the action of playful, lighthearted activity with its natural result, laughter, to create a single idea representing a jest or a joke, where the playfulness itself is the cause and the laughter is the intended effect.
