The Chinese word **疯人院 (fēngrényuàn)**, meaning "mental hospital" or "asylum," is a straightforward and logical compound formed by combining three distinct morphemes: **疯 (fēng)** meaning "crazy" or "insane," **人 (rén)** meaning "person," and **院 (yuàn)** meaning "courtyard," "compound," or "institution." The structure follows a common "modifier-modifier-head" pattern in Chinese, where "疯" modifies "人" to create "疯人" ("insane person"), which in turn modifies "院" to specify the type of institution—essentially, "an institution for insane persons." This transparent compounding directly reflects the literal function of the place, similar to English constructions like "madhouse."
