The Chinese word **理发店** (lǐfàdiàn), meaning "barbershop" or "hair salon," is a compound noun formed through a logical and descriptive combination of three characters: **理** (lǐ) means "to manage" or "to groom," **发** (fà) means "hair," and **店** (diàn) means "shop" or "store." Therefore, the term is constructed by sequentially combining the action (**理发**, "to groom hair") with the type of establishment (**店**, "shop"), resulting in a transparent and easily understood term for a place where the service of hair grooming is conducted.
