The Chinese word 沼泽地 (zhǎozédì), meaning "swamp" or "marshland," is a compound noun formed through semantic combination. It consists of three morphemes: 沼 (zhǎo), meaning a stagnant water pond; 泽 (zé), meaning a wetland or marsh; and 地 (dì), meaning land or terrain. The first two characters, 沼泽, form a close-knit binome signifying "swamp," which is then modified by 地 to specify it as a type of landform. Thus, the construction progresses from specific water-related features to a general land category, creating a precise term for water-saturated ground.
