About
The Chinese word 受损 (shòusǔn) is a compound verb formed through the common grammatical structure of verb + object, where the first character 受 (shòu) means "to receive" or "to undergo", and the second character 损 (sǔn) means "damage" or "loss". Combined, they create the meaning "to suffer damage" or "to be impaired", literally parsing as "to receive damage". This formation is typical in Modern Standard Chinese, where two meaningful characters (morphemes) are combined to produce a precise term, often used in formal or written contexts to describe a state of harm or deterioration.
