The Chinese word 游戏机 (yóuxìjī), meaning "game console" or "arcade machine," is a straightforward compound noun formed by combining three distinct semantic components: 游 (yóu) meaning "to roam" or "to play," 戏 (xì) meaning "drama" or "game," which together as 游戏 (yóuxì) signify "game" or "to play a game," and finally 机 (jī), meaning "machine." The formation follows a logical modifier-head structure where 游戏 ("game") modifies 机 ("machine"), creating a precise and transparent term for a machine used for gaming.
