The Chinese word **避孕 (bìyùn)**, meaning "contraception" or literally "to avoid pregnancy," is a **verb-object compound** formed by combining two characters: **避 (bì)**, which means "to avoid" or "to prevent," and **孕 (yùn)**, which means "pregnancy" or "to be pregnant." In this grammatical construction, the first character acts as the verb, and the second character acts as its direct object, so the term logically and transparently conveys the action of "preventing pregnancy." This method of word formation is common in modern Chinese for creating precise, self-explanatory technical or everyday vocabulary.
