The Chinese word **睫毛** (jiémáo), meaning "eyelashes," is a compound noun formed through semantic combination. It consists of the character **睫** (jié), which specifically means "eyelash," and the character **毛** (máo), which means "hair" or "fur." In this constructive pattern, **毛** acts as a general category, while **睫** specifies the type and location, resulting in a precise term for the fine hairs on the eyelid. This follows a common Chinese word-formation strategy where a specific modifier is paired with a more general root to create a clear, compound meaning.
