The Chinese word **瓷砖 (cízhuān)**, meaning "ceramic tile," is a logical compound formed by combining two meaningful characters: **瓷 (cí)**, which means "porcelain" or "ceramic," and **砖 (zhuān)**, which means "brick" or "tile." The first character specifies the material, while the second character specifies the form or function of the object. Together, they create a precise and transparent term for a man-made building material that is, essentially, a brick or tile made from ceramic. This method of word formation, where two independent morphemes are combined to denote a new, related concept, is extremely common in the Chinese language.
