About

The word 被害人 is formed by sequentially combining three conceptual building blocks: 被 (indicating passive reception or being subjected to), 害 (meaning harm or injury), and 人 (meaning person). These components are layered together not grammatically, but semantically, to logically construct the identity of a specific type of person: one who is on the receiving end of a harmful act, thus arriving at the complete meaning of "victim" or "the injured party".
