The Chinese word **侵害 (qīnhài)** is a compound term formed through the combination of two distinct but semantically related characters: **侵 (qīn)**, meaning "to invade," "to encroach," or "to infringe," and **害 (hài)**, meaning "to harm," "damage," or "cause injury." Together, they follow a common coordinative (or parallel) structure in Chinese word formation, where both components contribute to an intensified and more specific meaning. The first character, **侵**, describes the intrusive or violating *action*, while the second, **害**, specifies the resulting negative *consequence* of harm. Thus, **侵害** synthetically means "to infringe upon and cause harm to," typically referring to the violation and damaging of rights, interests, property, or physical well-being, encapsulating both the act of trespass and its injurious outcome in a single legal and general-use term.
