A toot is a short sound like 'beep!' made by a car horn, a train, or a small horn-like instrument. As a verb, 'to toot' means to make that sound. Drivers sometimes toot their horn to say hello, to warn someone, or just to get attention - it's a light, friendly-sounding word, not a harsh one.
(喇叭等)短促的嗶嗶聲；按喇叭
組成This word imitates the sound itself - it's built to sound like the noise it describes, so it doesn't split into other pieces.
