The Chinese word 生殖器 (shēngzhíqì), meaning "reproductive organ," is a compound term formed through logical semantic combination: the first two characters, 生 (shēng, "to give birth/life") and 殖 (zhí, "to breed/multiply"), combine to create the noun 生殖 (shēngzhí), meaning "reproduction." This is then modified by 器 (qì, "organ/tool"), a common suffix in biological terminology for bodily parts, to specify the anatomical "organ" involved in the process of reproduction. Thus, the word is constructed morphologically as [Reproduction] + [Organ] to precisely denote its biological function.
