The Chinese word "射门" (shèmén), meaning "to shoot (at the goal)" in sports like soccer, is a verb-object compound formed by combining the verb "射" (shè), meaning "to shoot" or "to launch", with the noun "门" (mén), meaning "door" or "gate". In this context, "门" is metaphorically extended to mean "goal" (the target structure). Grammatically, it follows a common Chinese word-formation pattern where an action is directly paired with its target object, creating a precise and dynamic term that literally translates to "shoot the goal", perfectly encapsulating the single action in the sport.
