About

The word "论文" is formed through semantic compounding, where two independent characters, each with their own meaning, are combined to create a new, specific concept. The character "论" (lùn) carries the core idea of "discussion", "discourse", or "theory", while "文" (wén) means "writing", "text", or "literature". Their combination conceptually fuses these ideas to mean "discoursing text" or "theoretical writing", which directly and logically points to the modern meaning of a formal, researched academic essay or thesis.
