The Chinese word 推销员 (tuīxiāoyuán), meaning "salesperson", is a logically constructed compound noun formed by combining three distinct morphemes: the verb 推 (tuī, "to push" or "to promote") modifies the verb 销 (xiāo, "to sell"), creating the compound verb 推销 (tuīxiāo, "to promote sales" or "to market"), which then attaches to the suffix 员 (yuán, "person" or "member of a profession"), resulting in a noun that literally means "a person who promotes sales". This structure follows a common Chinese word-formation pattern where an action (推销) is specified, and then a human agent performing that action is denoted by adding 员.
