The Chinese word **输液 (shūyè)**, meaning "intravenous infusion" or "to administer an IV," is a compound word formed by combining two meaningful characters: **输 (shū)**, which means "to transport" or "to infuse," and **液 (yè)**, which means "fluid" or "liquid." It follows a standard verb-object grammatical structure common in Chinese, where the first character denotes the action and the second character denotes the object of that action. Thus, the term literally and logically describes the process of "infusing a fluid" into the body, specifically into a vein, creating a precise and transparent medical term.
