About
The word 观众 is formed by combining the character 观, meaning "to watch" or "to observe", with the character 众, meaning "crowd" or "multitude". It conceptually merges the action of viewing with the collective body of people performing that action, thereby directly and pictorially creating the idea of "the watching crowd" or "audience". The formation is purely ideographic, building the compound's meaning from the straightforward sum of its visual-semantic parts.
