The Chinese word **实体** is a compound term formed by combining two meaningful characters: **实** (shí), which means "solid," "real," or "substantial," and **体** (tǐ), which means "body," "form," or "entity." Together, they create a conceptual blend where "实" modifies "体" to specify the type of entity—essentially a "real body" or "substantial form." This formation follows a common modifier-head structure in Chinese morphology, resulting in a noun that denotes a concrete, tangible, or physically existing object, as opposed to something abstract, virtual, or conceptual. It is widely used in contexts like economics (实体店, brick-and-mortar store), philosophy (实体 vs. 属性, substance vs. attribute), and general language to refer to physical entities.
