About

The word "咒语" is formed through a direct and logical semantic combination of its two component characters: "咒" (zhòu), which carries the core meaning of a curse, spell, or incantation, and "语" (yǔ), which means language, speech, or words. By placing them together, the concept is visually and conceptually constructed as "spell-language" or "incantation-words", instantly conveying the idea of magical or ritualistic speech intended to invoke supernatural effects, perfectly capturing the essence of a "magic spell" or "incantation".
