The Chinese word 插入 (chārù), meaning "to insert", is a verb-object compound formed by combining two meaningful characters: 插 (chā), which means "to insert" or "to stick into", and 入 (rù), which means "to enter" or "to go into". In this construction, the first character 插 denotes the action itself, while the second character 入 functions as the object or goal of that action, literally forming the concept of "insert-enter". This structure is common in Chinese for creating action verbs where the second element specifies the direction or result, resulting in a precise term for placing something into something else.
