The word "大王" (dàwáng) is a compound noun formed through semantic modification, where the adjective "大" (dà), meaning "big" or "great", is prefixed to the noun "王" (wáng), meaning "king" or "monarch", to create a new, amplified meaning of "great king", "overlord", or "supreme ruler". This structure follows a common pattern in Chinese where an attributive element precedes and qualifies a core noun, and in this specific case, it elevates the status from a standard king to one of exceptional power, dominance, or scale, as historically used for feudal lords, powerful chieftains, or even in modern contexts like the "King of Beasts" (狮大王) or a champion in a game.
