About
The Chinese word **巨额** (jù'é) is a compound noun formed through morphological combination, where the first character **巨** (jù), meaning "huge" or "gigantic," functions as an intensifying modifier to the second character **额** (é), which means "amount," "sum," or "quota." This modifier-head structure creates a single lexical unit that semantically means "a huge sum" or "an enormous amount," typically referring to money or financial quantities, and exemplifies how modern Chinese frequently combines meaningful monosyllabic morphemes to form precise and concise compound words.
