The Chinese word **钱财** is a compound noun formed through the combination of two synonymous characters: **钱** (qián), which specifically means "money" or "currency," and **财** (cái), which has a broader meaning of "wealth," "assets," or "valuables." This structure, known as a **synonym compound**, merges two semantically related morphemes to create a single, more comprehensive concept—in this case, referring generally to monetary resources and financial wealth. The pairing reinforces and slightly expands the meaning, making the term more formal and inclusive than either character alone, effectively encapsulating the idea of "financial means" or "pecuniary resources."
