The word **去处 (qùchù)** is a compound noun formed by combining the verb **去 (qù)**, meaning "to go," with the noun **处 (chù)**, meaning "place" or "location." This structure follows a common pattern in Chinese where a verb modifies a noun to create a new concept—in this case, "a place to go" or "a destination." It inherently carries the sense of direction and purpose, evolving to mean not just a physical destination but also a figurative "whereabouts" or a "realm" one can belong to, effectively capturing the idea of a purposeful or significant location.
