About
The Chinese word "遵从" (zūncóng) is a compound verb formed through the combination of two synonymous or semantically related characters: "遵" (zūn), which means "to abide by" or "to follow" (often implying adherence to rules, orders, or superior authority), and "从" (cóng), which means "to follow," "to obey," or "to comply." Together, they create a reinforced meaning of "to comply with and follow," conveying a sense of obediently acting in accordance with instructions, regulations, or wishes, often with a nuance of respect or deference. This type of word formation, where two characters with similar meanings are paired to emphasize or specify a concept, is very common in Chinese vocabulary development.
