About

The word "骑马" is formed by combining the character "骑", meaning "to ride", with "马", meaning "horse". "骑" is a phono-semantic compound character where "马" serves as the semantic radical indicating association with horses, and "奇" provides the phonetic cue. In combination, they create a verb-object compound where the action of riding directly precedes its object, resulting in the meaning "to ride a horse".
