答 (dá, "answer") + 疑 (yí, "doubt") combines responding with the uncertainty being addressed, giving the word its question-focused sense.

  • English usually separates the event noun from the verb phrase, but Chinese uses the same form for both a scheduled question period and the act of answering questions.
