The Chinese word "拔掉" is formed through a straightforward verb-complement structure, where the verb "拔" (bá), meaning "to pull out" or "to uproot", is combined with the resultative complement "掉" (diào), which indicates a sense of "off", "away", or completion of the action. Together, they create a single verbal unit that means "to pull out and remove completely", as in pulling a plug from a socket or uprooting a weed, with "掉" emphasizing the successful result and the change of state, the item is not just pulled but is now detached or gone.
