The term 性骚扰 is formed by directly combining two conceptual elements: 性 (xìng), meaning "sex" or "sexual nature", with 骚扰 (sāorǎo), meaning "to harass" or "harassment". It is a modern conceptual compound that packages the specific idea of "sexual harassment" into a single, efficient unit, mirroring the structure and meaning of the English term from which it was semantically translated, creating a clear, socially recognized label for a category of intrusive and violating behavior.
