The word "这边" is formed through the straightforward combination of two individual characters: the demonstrative "这" (zhè), meaning "this", and the locative noun "边" (biān), meaning "side" or "area". Their union creates a single, fused concept that points to a specific, proximate location or region, effectively meaning "this side" or "over here". It is a standard example of a compound word in Chinese where a modifier and a core noun are joined to form a new, specific spatial reference.
