About

The Chinese word "头盔" is formed through the semantic combination of two characters: "头", meaning "head", and "盔", which refers to a protective covering or armor. When joined, they create a compound that literally translates to "head covering", directly illustrating the object's purpose as a device designed to shield the head from injury, thus embodying the concept of a helmet through this descriptive and intuitive pairing of meanings.
