The Chinese word **容貌 (róngmào)**, meaning "facial features" or "countenance," is a compound formed by combining two semantically related characters: **容**, which primarily conveys the concepts of "appearance," "to contain," or "to allow," and **貌**, which specifically means "outward form," "looks," or "visage." Together, they create a binome where each character reinforces and specifies the other, with **容** providing the general sense of "what is presented" and **貌** narrowing the focus to the physical, especially facial, appearance. This formation follows a common pattern in Chinese where two synonyms or near-synonyms are paired to express a single, nuanced, and often more abstract concept—in this case, the overall look and impression of a person's face.
