The Chinese word **面积 (miànjī)**, meaning "area" (as in a geometric measurement), is a compound term formed through logical semantic combination. It consists of two characters: **面 (miàn)**, which means "surface" or "face," and **积 (jī)**, which means "accumulation" or "product" (in the mathematical sense). Thus, the word literally conveys the concept of the "accumulation of surface" or the "product of two dimensions," elegantly capturing the mathematical definition of area as the measure of a two-dimensional space. This method of combining meaningful characters to create a new, precise concept is a classic feature of Chinese word formation.
