The Chinese word 除去 (chúqù) is formed through a common morphological process in Mandarin known as verb-complement compounding, where the main verb 除 (chú), meaning "to remove" or "to eliminate", is combined with the directional or resultative complement 去 (qù), meaning "to go" or "away". Together, they create a single lexical unit where 去 intensifies and completes the action of 除, implying a sense of thorough removal or getting rid of something, thus forming a resultative verb compound meaning "to remove", "to exclude", or "to do away with".
