The word **猪排** (zhū pái) is formed through a straightforward compound word structure in Chinese, where the first character **猪** (zhū, meaning "pig" or "pork") acts as a modifier specifying the material or origin, and the second character **排** (pái, meaning "cutlet" or "steak," derived from its meaning of "row" or "slab") indicates the form or type of food; together, they create a noun meaning "pork chop," following a common "noun + noun" pattern where the first element describes the second.
