About

The word "可疑" is formed by combining the character "可", which conveys a sense of possibility or capability, with the character "疑", which signifies doubt or suspicion. This juxtaposition creates a compound where "可" modifies "疑" to indicate that doubt is applicable or warranted, thereby generating the meaning of "suspicious" or "doubtful". This structural approach aligns with the typical Chinese method of constructing words by merging independent characters to express a unified, often abstract, concept.
