The Chinese word 祭品 (jìpǐn), meaning "sacrificial offering," is a compound noun formed through semantic combination: the first character 祭 (jì) means "to sacrifice" or "to worship," establishing the ritual action, while the second character 品 (pǐn) means "article," "item," or "object." Together, they create a precise and logical meaning—"sacrificial item"—where 品 specifies the tangible object used in the ritual act denoted by 祭. This structure is typical in Chinese, where two meaningful characters (morphemes) combine to form a new, more specific concept.
