The word "引人注目" is formed by sequentially combining four characters where "引" (attract) and "人" (people) create the verb-object phrase "attract people", which then connects to the verb-object phrase "注目" (focus eyes), composed of "注" (focus) and "目" (eyes); this structure directly links the action of attracting people to the result of their eyes focusing, yielding the literal meaning of drawing attention.
