The Chinese word 拐角 (guǎijiǎo), meaning "corner" or "turn", is a compound noun formed through semantic combination. It consists of two characters: 拐 (guǎi), which carries the core meaning of "to turn" or "to bend", and 角 (jiǎo), which means "angle" or "corner". By combining these two meaningful morphemes, the compound literally and logically denotes the "bending angle" or the point where a path or surface changes direction, effectively creating a single term for a physical corner or a turn in the road.
