The Chinese word **组长 (zǔzhǎng)**, meaning "group leader" or "team head," is a standard **modifier-head compound noun** formed by combining two meaningful characters: **组 (zǔ)**, which means "group" or "team," and **长 (zhǎng)**, which means "chief," "head," or "leader." In this structure, the first character **组** modifies and specifies the type of **长**, clearly indicating that this person is the leader *of a group* rather than of something else (e.g., 校长, xiàozhǎng, "school principal," where 校 means "school"). It is an efficient and logical method in Chinese word formation, where two independent morphemes are combined to create a new, transparent meaning based on the relationship between its parts.
