About

The word 收费 is formed by directly combining two meaningful characters: 收 (shōu), which means "to collect" or "to receive", and 费 (fèi), which means "a fee" or "charge". Their union is purely conceptual, creating a compound where the first character describes the action and the second specifies the object of that action, thus naturally expressing the idea of "to collect a fee" or "fee-charging".
