About

The word 球员 is formed by combining two meaningful characters: 球 (qiú), which means "ball", and 员 (yuán), which means "person" or "member". It is a direct conceptual blend where the first character defines the domain or object (the ball used in sports) and the second character identifies the human role associated with it, thereby creating the composite meaning of "a person involved with a ball", that is, a ballplayer or athlete.
