The Chinese word **切换** (*qiēhuàn*) is a compound verb formed by combining two distinct morphemes: **切** (*qiē*), which carries the core meaning of "to cut" or "to switch," and **换** (*huàn*), meaning "to exchange" or "to change." Together, they create a synergistic meaning where **切** implies a decisive break or transition from one state, and **换** contributes the notion of substituting it with another. This formation follows the common Chinese linguistic pattern of combining two semantically related verbs to express a more specific, nuanced action—in this case, "to switch over," "to toggle," or "to change (between modes, scenes, or systems)" in a single, seamless action.
