About

The word 伤口 is formed by directly combining two characters: 伤, which means "to injure" or "wound", and 口, which literally means "mouth" but here is used in its extended sense of an "opening" or "aperture". Together, they create a visual and conceptual compound where the second character describes the form of the first; thus, an injury (伤) that is an opening (口), picturing a cut, gash, or break in the skin, essentially, a wound.
