家

About

The word 画家 is formed by directly combining two ideas: 画, meaning "to paint" or "a painting", and 家, which here signifies "a master", "an expert", or "a professional practitioner". It is a conceptual fusion where the second element transforms the first into a category of person, creating the composite idea of "a person who is a master of painting", that is, a painter or artist.
