The Chinese word 藏匿 (cángnì) is a compound verb formed by combining two synonymous characters, 藏 (cáng) and 匿 (nì), which both independently carry the core meaning of "to hide" or "to conceal". This is a classic example of a synonymous binome, where two morphemes with similar meanings are paired together to create a single, more nuanced term. The combination often intensifies or formalizes the concept, resulting in a word that specifically denotes the deliberate act of hiding or secreting something (or someone) away, frequently carrying a connotation of evasion or illegality, as in hiding evidence or a fugitive.
