The Chinese word **挤压** is a compound verb formed through the combination of two semantically similar characters: **挤 (jǐ)**, which means "to squeeze," "to crowd," or "to press together," and **压 (yā)**, which means "to press down," "to compress," or "to suppress." Together, they create a more specific and intensified meaning that refers to the action of applying pressure from multiple sides or directions, often resulting in deformation or reduction in volume, as in mechanical extrusion or the figurative sense of being under stress. This type of word formation, where two characters with related meanings are paired to reinforce and narrow the concept, is common in Chinese for creating precise technical or descriptive vocabulary.
