The word 编剧 (biānjù, meaning "screenwriter" or "playwright") is formed through a direct, visual conceptual blend: the first character 编 means "to weave" or "to compile", and the second character 剧 means "drama" or "play". Together, they create the immediate image of one who "weaves a drama", seamlessly combining the action of crafting and arranging narrative elements (编) with the final product, the dramatic work itself (剧), to denote the person responsible for that creative construction.
