The word 秃头 (tūtóu), meaning "bald head" or "bald", is a typical Chinese compound formed by combining two meaningful characters: 秃 (tū), which means "bald" or "bare", and 头 (tóu), which means "head". It follows a straightforward modifier-head structure, where the first character 秃 describes the state or quality of the second character 头, the noun. This creates a literal and semantically transparent compound meaning "a head that is bald".
