The Chinese word 净化 (jìng huà) is a verb meaning "to purify" or "to cleanse", and it is formed through a logical and common morphological process in Mandarin known as verb-resultative compounding. The first character, 净 (jìng), carries the core meaning of "clean" or "pure", establishing the target state. The second character, 化 (huà), is a versatile suffix meaning "to change" or "to transform". Therefore, when combined, 净化 literally and functionally means "to transform (something) into a clean/pure state", directly describing the process of purification. This structure is analogous to many other Chinese words where an adjective or noun is paired with 化 to indicate causing or undergoing a specific change.
