About

The word 牙医 is formed by directly combining two independent characters: 牙 (yá), which means "tooth", and 医 (yī), which means "doctor" or "to heal". It is a straightforward compound where the first character specifies the type or field of the second, creating a new, specific meaning, literally a "tooth doctor" or dentist. This method of formation is intuitive and visual, building a complete concept from two clear, standalone ideas.
