访

About

The Chinese word 来访 (láifǎng) is a compound formed by combining two independent verbs: 来 (lái), meaning "to come", and 访 (fǎng), meaning "to visit". It follows a common grammatical structure in Chinese where two verbs are joined to create a single term that describes a sequential or purposeful action, in this case, "to come and visit". This formation results in a word that can function as a verb (e.g., "to pay a visit") or, more commonly, as a noun (e.g., "a visitor" or "a visit"), embodying both the action and the entity involved in the action through a concise, logical synthesis of its parts.
