About

The Chinese word "暴力" is formed through the semantic combination of two characters: "暴", which conveys notions of brutality, cruelty, or sudden intensity, and "力", which signifies strength, power, or force. When merged, these characters create a compound word where the meaning of "暴" modifies and intensifies "力", resulting in the concept of "violence" as the application of fierce or coercive force. This formation follows a common Chinese pattern where two meaningful components are joined to express a more specific and nuanced idea, in this case, encapsulating the essence of violent behavior or action.
