About

The word "陌生人" is formed by combining the character 陌, which conveys a sense of unfamiliarity or foreignness, with 生, which adds the notion of birth or existence, together creating the compound 陌生 meaning "strange" or "unfamiliar"; this is then modified by 人, meaning person, to specify an unfamiliar person, resulting in the term for "stranger".
