About
The word 船员 is formed by combining two meaningful characters: 船 (chuán), which means "ship" or "boat", and 员 (yuán), which signifies a "person" or "member" engaged in an activity. Their direct semantic combination creates the transparent, compound meaning of "ship member", logically referring to a crewman or sailor. This is a standard method in Chinese for creating precise nouns by descriptively joining a thing or place with the role of a person associated with it.
