The Chinese word 王冠 (wángguān), meaning "crown", is a straightforward compound noun formed by combining two meaningful characters: 王 (wáng), meaning "king" or "monarch", and 冠 (guān), meaning "hat" or "cap". It follows a common modifier-head structure in Chinese word formation, where the first element 王 specifies the type, and the second element 冠 denotes the object itself. Thus, the compound literally translates to "king's hat", logically and semantically creating the specific concept of a royal crown.
