The word **轰炸机** (hōngzhàjī, meaning "bomber aircraft") is a transparent compound noun formed through semantic combination: the first two characters, **轰炸** (hōngzhà), meaning "to bomb" or "bombardment," act as a descriptive modifier for the third character, **机** (jī), a common abbreviation for **飞机** (fēijī, "aircraft"). Thus, the structure is [verb+object] + [machine], literally translating to "bombing-machine," which precisely and logically denotes an airplane designed specifically for bombing missions.
