About

The word "罪行" is formed by combining the character "罪", meaning crime, and "行", meaning action. "罪" is composed of the radical "网" (net) and "非" (wrong), conceptually depicting wrongdoing being caught. "行" originates from a pictogram of a crossroads, symbolizing conduct or behavior. Together, "罪" modifies "行" to specify an action that is criminal, thus forming the term for a criminal offense.
