About

The word 死因 is formed by directly combining two concepts: 死 (sǐ), meaning "death", and 因 (yīn), meaning "cause" or "reason". It is a logical, semantic pairing where the first character establishes the subject matter (death) and the second character specifies a key aspect of inquiry related to it (its cause), resulting in the straightforward and compound meaning of "cause of death".
