About
The word **仇人 (chóurén)**, meaning "enemy" or "foe," is a compound noun formed through a straightforward semantic combination of its two constituent characters. The first character, **仇 (chóu)**, carries the core meaning of "hatred," "emnity," or "a grievance." The second character, **人 (rén)**, simply means "person." When combined, they create a modifier-noun structure where **仇** descriptively modifies **人**, literally translating to "a person of hatred" or "a person with whom one has enmity." This formation is semantically transparent, directly conveying the concept of an individual who is the object of one's hostility or the counterpart in a feud.
