About

The Chinese word **游乐园** (yóulèyuán), meaning "amusement park," is a modern compound formed through semantic combination, where each character contributes a distinct layer of meaning: **游** (yóu) conveys "to travel," "to roam," or "to play recreationally"; **乐** (lè) means "joy" or "happiness"; and **园** (yuán) denotes a "garden," "park," or enclosed grounds. Together, they sequentially describe the concept as a **"park for playful recreation and joy,"** logically synthesizing a place designed for leisure and entertainment, reflecting a common Chinese word-formation strategy of combining meaningful morphemes to create a new, transparent compound noun.
