The word 转悠 (zhuànyou) is a colloquial Chinese compound verb formed through the combination of two semantically related characters: 转 (zhuàn), meaning "to turn", "to revolve", or "to circle", and 悠 (you), which in this context conveys a sense of leisurely, unhurried, or aimless movement. Together, they create a vivid reduplicative expression where 悠 softens and extends the action of 转, shifting the meaning from simple rotation to the act of wandering, strolling, or hanging around without a fixed purpose or destination. This formation follows a common pattern in Chinese where a second character modifies the first to evoke a specific, often more figurative or nuanced, sense of motion or state.
