The word 遵照 (zūnzhào) is a compound verb formed by combining two synonymous characters, each carrying the core meaning of "to follow" or "to comply with." The first character, 遵 (zūn), means "to abide by" or "to observe," while the second, 照 (zhào), in this context means "according to" or "in the light of." Their combination creates a formal and respectful term that emphasizes acting in strict accordance with rules, instructions, or authority, resulting in a meaning stronger than either character alone, equivalent to "to obey and act upon" or "to follow in compliance with."
