The word **微风** (wēifēng, meaning "breeze" or "gentle wind") is a compound noun formed through the standard Chinese method of semantic combination, where the modifier **微** (wēi, meaning "tiny," "slight," or "gentle") is placed before the core noun **风** (fēng, meaning "wind") to specify and describe its nature; thus, the literal and functional meaning is "a slight wind," where the first character acts as an adjective modifying the second, creating a precise and commonly used term for a light atmospheric movement.
