About

The word 住处 is formed by directly combining two meaningful characters: 住, which conveys the action or state of "residing" or "living", and 处, which denotes a "place" or "location". Their union creates a new, integrated concept through simple semantic addition, where the first character modifies the second, resulting in the literal and intuitive meaning of "a place for residing" or "dwelling place".
