The word **猎鹰** (lièyīng) is a compound noun formed through semantic combination, where the first character **猎** (liè) means "to hunt," acting as a modifier that describes the function of the second character **鹰** (yīng), which means "eagle" or "hawk." Together, they create the meaning "hunting eagle," specifically referring to birds of prey like falcons or hawks that are used in the practice of falconry, thus defining the bird by its trained purpose rather than solely by its species.
