About

The word 听众 is formed by directly combining two meaningful characters: 听 (tīng), which means "to listen", and 众 (zhòng), which means "a crowd" or "many people". When placed together, they create a new, composite idea that is visually and conceptually the sum of its parts, literally "listening crowd", to denote the single, unified concept of an "audience". It is a straightforward pictorial and conceptual fusion where the first character defines the primary action and the second character defines the collective body performing it.
