The Chinese word **风扇** (fēngshàn), meaning "electric fan," is a compound noun formed through semantic combination, where the first character **风** (fēng) means "wind" and the second character **扇** (shàn) means "fan" (the noun) or "to fan" (the verb). Together, they create a logical and descriptive term for a device whose primary function is to generate a current of air, literally a "wind-fan," which efficiently conveys its purpose through the straightforward combination of its core semantic elements.
