About

The Chinese word "去掉" is formed by combining the character "去", which conveys the basic idea of going away or removing, with the character "掉", which adds the sense of falling off or resulting in a state of completion. This juxtaposition creates a compound where the first component initiates the action and the second emphasizes its outcome, seamlessly merging to express the concept of eliminating or discarding something entirely. Thus, the formation relies on the meaningful union of two independent characters to produce a new, cohesive term that intuitively represents the act of removal.
