About

The Chinese word 突击队 (tūjīduì), meaning "assault team", "shock troops", or "commando unit", is a compound noun formed through semantic combination. It consists of two core components: 突击 (tūjī), meaning "to assault" or "to make a sudden and concentrated attack", which itself is a verb-object compound from 突 (tū, "to charge") and 击 (jī, "to strike"); and 队 (duì), meaning "team" or "unit". Therefore, the term logically and structurally combines the concept of a sudden, forceful action (突击) with an organized group (队), resulting in the meaning of a specialized unit trained for rapid, intensive operations.
