醒来

• 拼音: xǐng lái
• 汉字拆解: 醒 = 酉 + 星 (awake/sober up); 来 = directional complement marking resultative completion

含义

To wake up; to regain consciousness from sleep or unconsciousness.

A verb-complement construction where 来 marks completion of the waking process. Used both literally (from sleep) and medically (from anaesthesia or a coma). More specific than 醒 alone.
