About

The word "全身" is formed by combining the character "全", meaning "whole" or "entire", with the character "身", meaning "body". Together, they create a compound word where "全" modifies "身" to denote the entirety of the body, resulting in the literal meaning "whole body". This construction directly derives its sense from the semantic sum of its individual components.
