The Chinese word **贫血** (pínxuè, meaning "anemia") is a compound word formed through semantic combination, where the first character **贫** (pín) means "poor" or "deficient," and the second character **血** (xuè) means "blood"; together, they create a descriptive term that literally translates to "poor blood," directly and logically indicating a medical condition characterized by a deficiency of red blood cells or hemoglobin. This formation exemplifies a common pattern in Chinese terminology, where two independent, meaningful characters (morphemes) are combined to produce a new, precise meaning that is often transparent from its components.
