The word 女人 is formed through the direct semantic combination of two characters: 女, which is a pictograph historically depicting a kneeling figure and means "female" or "woman", and 人, a pictograph of a standing human figure meaning "person" or "human". By placing them together, the concept is compounded visually and conceptually, where 女 specifies the type and 人 provides the general category, creating the complete idea of a "female person" or "woman".
