The Chinese word 敌意 (díyì), meaning "hostility" or "animosity", is a compound noun formed through semantic combination. It consists of two characters: 敌 (dí), which means "enemy" or "to oppose", and 意 (yì), which means "intention", "meaning", or "feeling". When combined, they create a new concept where the "intention/feeling of an enemy" logically conveys the sense of hostile sentiment or ill will. This is a standard method of word formation in Chinese, where two meaningful morphemes are joined to express an abstract idea that is directly related to the sum of its parts.
