The word 进攻 is formed by combining two independent characters, each with its own meaning, into a new conceptual whole. The first character, 进 (jìn), carries the core idea of "advancing" or "moving forward". It is then paired with the second character, 攻 (gōng), which means "to attack" or "to assault". Their combination is not merely additive but creates a sequential logic; the word visually and conceptually maps the process of first moving forward (进) in order to then strike or assault (攻), forming the integrated concept of "to launch an attack" or "to go on the offensive".
