About

The word 接吻 is formed by combining two characters that each contribute a core physical concept to create the unified idea of a kiss. 接 (jiē) means "to connect" or "to join", while 吻 (wěn) means "lips". Therefore, the compound literally and visually depicts the action of "connecting lips", directly illustrating the physical act itself through the combination of its constituent parts.
