The Chinese word 说明书 (shuōmíngshū) is a compound noun consisting of two characters: 说明 (shuōmíng) and 书 (shū). The first character, 说明, is a verb-object compound meaning "to explain" or "to make clear". The second character, 书, is a noun meaning "book" or "document". Together, the two characters form the compound noun 说明书, which literally means "a book or document that explains something". In English, 说明书 is often translated as "instruction manual" or "user guide". These terms are used to refer to a document that provides instructions on how to use or operate a product.
