About

The Chinese word **再婚 (zàihūn)**, meaning "to remarry," is a straightforward compound formed by combining two meaningful characters: **再 (zài)**, which functions as an adverb meaning "again" or "once more," and **婚 (hūn)**, a noun meaning "marriage" or "to marry." The structure follows a common grammatical pattern in Chinese where an adverbial modifier precedes a core verb or noun, creating a logical semantic unit that directly translates to "to marry again." Therefore, the formation is purely analytical and compositional, with the meaning derived transparently from the sum of its parts.
