The Chinese word **舞曲 (wǔqǔ)**, meaning "dance music" or a dance tune, is a straightforward compound formed by combining two meaningful characters: **舞 (wǔ)**, which means "to dance" or "dance," and **曲 (qǔ)**, which means "tune," "song," or "melody." It is a coordinative or modifier-head compound where the first character **舞** describes the type or purpose of the **曲**, effectively creating the meaning "a tune for dancing" or "dance music." This formation follows the common Chinese word-formation pattern where two independent, concrete concepts are combined to produce a new, specific term.
