The Chinese word 痛快淋漓 is formed by combining the two-character compound 痛快, meaning "extremely happy" where 痛 serves as an intensifier for 快 (joyful), with the compound 淋漓, meaning "dripping wet" or metaphorically "thorough and unrestrained". Their conjunction creates an idiom that expresses complete and intense satisfaction or the thorough execution of an action, through the direct semantic reinforcement of both units.
