The Chinese word 来宾 (láibīn), meaning "guest" or "visitor", is a compound formed by combining two meaningful characters: 来 (lái), which means "to come", and 宾 (bīn), which means "guest" or "visitor". Together, they create a logical and transparent semantic construction where 来 acts as a verb modifier describing the action of the 宾, essentially forming the concept of "a guest who has come" or "an arriving guest", which is a standard and respectful term for someone visiting an event or place.
