About

The word 眼镜 (yǎnjìng, meaning "eyeglasses") is formed by directly combining two meaningful characters: 眼 (yǎn), meaning "eye", and 镜 (jìng), meaning "mirror" or "lens". This creates a highly logical and visually descriptive compound where the combined meaning is essentially "eye-lens", perfectly capturing the object's function as a lens placed before the eyes to aid vision.
