The Chinese word **火烧 (huǒshāo)** is a compound noun formed through semantic combination, where the first character **火 (huǒ)**, meaning "fire," modifies the second character **烧 (shāo)**, meaning "to burn" or "baking." Literally, it describes something "baked by fire," and this vivid imagery accurately names a type of popular northern Chinese baked or pan-fried flatbread pastry, whose characteristic crispy, golden-brown crust is a direct result of its fire-based cooking method. Thus, the term efficiently conveys both the cooking process and the final product through its descriptive morphological structure.
