The Chinese word **减去** (jiǎnqù) is a compound verb formed through semantic combination, where the first character **减** means "to reduce" or "to subtract," and the second character **去** means "to remove" or "to go away." Together, they create a more precise and action-oriented term that specifically means "to subtract (from)" or "to deduct," with **去** emphasizing the notion of taking something away, thereby completing the sense of the subtraction action. It is most commonly used in mathematical and figurative contexts to indicate the process of removal or reduction.
