The Chinese word 树叶 (shùyè) for "leaves" is composed of two characters: 树 (shù) meaning "tree" and 叶 (yè) meaning "leaf". The character 树 is a pictograph depicting a tree with branches and leaves. The character 叶 is a phonetic compound, combining the phonetic element 枼 (yè) with the semantic element 艹 (cǎo) meaning "grass". The combination of these two characters creates the word 树叶, which specifically refers to the leaves of a tree.
