About

The word "蚂蚁" is formed by combining two characters: "蚂" incorporates the insect radical "虫" for semantic category and the component "马" for phonetic indication, while "蚁" similarly uses "虫" for meaning and "义" for sound, together creating a disyllabic term where both characters contribute to denoting the concept of an ant.
