The Chinese word **巡视** (xúnshì) is a compound verb formed by combining two meaningful characters: **巡** (xún), which means "to patrol," "to make rounds," or "to tour," and **视** (shì), which means "to look," "to inspect," or "to view." Together, they create a semantic compound where the first character describes the action (patrolling/moving through an area) and the second specifies the purpose or mode of that action (looking/inspecting). The term thus literally means "to patrol and inspect" or "to make an inspection tour," conveying the concept of an official or systematic examination of an area or situation, often from a position of authority, such as a leader inspecting troops or an official touring a region.
