The Chinese word **历险 (lìxiǎn)**, meaning "adventure" or "to experience danger," is a compound word formed by combining two meaningful characters: **历 (lì)**, which means "to experience" or "to undergo," and **险 (xiǎn)**, which means "danger" or "peril." Together, they create a conceptual blend where **历** acts as the verb indicating the process of going through an event, and **险** serves as the noun object defining the nature of that event as hazardous or risky. This **verb-object structure** is common in Chinese morphology, effectively conveying the action of "experiencing danger," which semantically extends to the modern sense of an exciting, perilous undertaking, or an adventure.
