The term "综合征" (zōng hé zhēng), meaning "syndrome," is formed through a logical, descriptive composition of three Chinese characters: "综" (zōng) implies something comprehensive or synthetic; "合" (hé) means to combine or aggregate; and "征" (zhēng) refers to signs or manifestations. Together, they construct a meaning that accurately describes a medical "syndrome" as a **comprehensive set of combined signs and symptoms** that collectively characterize a specific abnormal condition or disease, reflecting the Chinese linguistic tendency to create precise compound words by concatenating meaningful semantic components.
