About

The word 鸡肉 is formed through direct, logical combination: the first character 鸡 means "chicken", and the second character 肉 means "meat". By placing them together, the concept specifies the type of meat directly sourced from the animal, creating a straightforward, compound noun meaning "chicken meat". It is an illustrative example of how Chinese often builds precise terms by semantically combining a general category (meat) with a specific modifier (chicken).
