The word **赶路** is a compound verb formed by combining the character **赶** (gǎn), meaning "to rush," "to hasten," or "to chase after," with the character **路** (lù), meaning "road" or "journey." Structurally, it follows a verb-object pattern where the action of "rushing" is directly applied to the object "the road," effectively creating the meaning "to hurry on one's journey" or "to travel with urgency." This formation is a common method in Chinese for creating precise, action-oriented phrases by pairing an action verb with its logical target, resulting in a term that succinctly conveys the purposeful and often strenuous act of making one's way, typically over a distance and against time.
