About

The word 全面 is formed by combining two characters: 全 (quán), meaning "whole" or "complete", and 面 (miàn), which in this context means "aspect" or "facet". Conceptually, they are joined not by grammar but by semantic blending, where the idea of "all" (全) is directly applied to the idea of "sides" or "facets" (面) to create a new, single concept meaning "comprehensive", "all-around", or "covering every aspect". It is a straightforward ideographic compound where the combined meaning is the sum of its visualizable parts.
