The word "评委" is formed by combining two independent characters, each carrying its own core meaning, to create a new, unified concept. The first character, 评 (píng), means "to judge", "to comment", or "to evaluate". The second character, 委 (wěi), in this context, means "a committee" or "a group delegated for a specific task". Therefore, by fusing these ideas, "评委" conceptually represents a "judging committee" or, more commonly, an individual member who is part of such a panel, a judge or an evaluator. It is the direct merging of the action (to judge) with the entity (a committee) that forms this compound term.
