The word 烤肉 is formed through a direct, visual compounding of two meaningful characters: 烤 (kǎo), which depicts the action of roasting or grilling over fire, and 肉 (ròu), which represents meat. Their combination does not follow a sentence structure but rather creates a single, fused concept, like a snapshot, where the first element modifies the second, instantly presenting the clear, concrete image of "grilled meat" as a unified entity or activity.
