About

The word "一阵" is formed by combining the numeral "一" (one) with the character "阵", which serves as a measure word indicating a short duration or burst of an event. This numeral-measure word structure directly quantifies an occurrence as a single, brief instance, as seen in phrases like "一阵风" for a gust of wind. The formation relies on the grammatical function of "阵" to classify transient actions or phenomena.
