The Chinese word 跨过 (kuàguò) is a verb compound formed through the morphological process of combining two separate but semantically related characters: 跨 (kuà), which means "to step over" or "to straddle," and 过 (guò), which means "to pass" or "to cross." This combination follows a common pattern in Chinese where an action verb (跨) is paired with a directional or resultative complement (过) to create a more specific meaning; in this case, the compound 跨过 precisely conveys the complete action of "stepping across and passing over" an obstacle or boundary, thus meaning "to cross over."
