The Chinese word **骨架 (gǔjià)**, meaning "skeleton" or "framework," is a compound word formed by combining two meaningful characters: **骨 (gǔ)**, which means "bone," and **架 (jià)**, which means "frame," "rack," or "structure." Together, they create a logical and semantically transparent compound where "bone" and "frame" merge to conceptually represent the internal supportive structure of a body or, by extension, the essential framework of any object or system. This formation follows a common pattern in Chinese where two nouns are combined to produce a new, more specific meaning that is readily understood from the sum of its parts.
