The Chinese word **驯服** is a compound verb formed by combining two semantically related characters: **驯** (xùn), which originally means "to tame" or "to domesticate" (specifically in reference to animals), and **服** (fú), which carries meanings of "to submit," "to obey," or "to be convinced." Together, they create a synergistic meaning where **驯** denotes the active process of bringing under control, and **服** emphasizes the resulting state of submission or compliance. Thus, the word as a whole means "to tame and subdue" or "to bring into obedience," describing both the action and its intended outcome, often applied to animals, people, or even abstract forces.
