Morphology

Huang + Hai

Huang Hai is a transliterated Chinese place name (literally 'Yellow Sea') whose constituent tokens are not English words in the provided data. A B1 English learner who only knows the listed constituents in English would not be able to derive the meaning; only speakers who know Mandarin would find it transparent, so for English learners it is opaque.

Etymology

Huang Hai is a Chinese name made of Huang meaning 'yellow' and Hai meaning 'sea'. The name may come from the yellow mud the Yellow River carries into the water, making parts of the sea look yellow, so it now means the sea between China and Korea.
