The Chinese word 迷宫 (mígōng), meaning "maze" or "labyrinth", is a logically formed compound noun. It combines the character 迷 (mí), which means "to lose", "to confuse", or "to be fascinated by", with the character 宫 (gōng), meaning "palace" or a large, complex building. Together, they create the vivid conceptual image of a "confusing palace", a structure or place specifically designed to disorient and cause one to become lost, perfectly capturing the essence of a maze. This formation is an example of a semantic compound, where the combined meanings of the individual characters directly illustrate the word's definition.
