About

The word 车库 (chēkù), meaning "garage", is formed by directly combining two independent concepts: 车 (chē), which means "vehicle", and 库 (kù), which means "warehouse" or "storage building". The compound logically creates a new, specific meaning, a storage building for vehicles, through this straightforward semantic fusion, where the first element specifies what the second element stores.
