About

The word 纪念品 is formed by logically combining two conceptual parts: 纪念, meaning "to commemorate" or "to remember", and 品, meaning "item" or "article". It is constructed by directly fusing the idea of "an act or feeling of remembrance" with the category of "a tangible object", resulting in the transparent and intuitive meaning of "an object meant for commemorating", a souvenir or memento. The formation is purely semantic, where the purpose defines the object.
