About

The Chinese word "控制权" is a compound noun formed through semantic combination, where the verb-object phrase "控制" (kòngzhì - to control) is combined with the noun "权" (quán - right, authority). This structure creates a new, specific term meaning "the right to control" or "control rights." It exemplifies a common method in modern Chinese word formation where an action ("控制") is linked to a concept of entitlement or power ("权") to denote an abstract legal or managerial concept, effectively lexicalizing the phrase "控制的权利" into a single, streamlined unit.
