The word 设立 (shèlì) is formed by combining two distinct characters, each contributing to its overall meaning through a common morphological process in Chinese known as lexical compounding. The first character, 设 (shè), means "to set up" or "to establish", often implying planning or arrangement, while the second character, 立 (lì), means "to stand" or "to erect", conveying the idea of bringing something into concrete existence. Together, they create a verb-object semantic relationship where 设 is the action and 立 is the resultant state, forming the comprehensive term meaning "to set up" or "to establish" an institution, organization, or system, with a sense of both the conceptual planning and the physical or formal realization.
