不
安

About

The word 不安 is formed by directly combining two conceptual characters: 不 (bù), meaning "not", and 安 (ān), meaning "peace", "calm", or "security". It is a logical fusion where the negation of the second character's state creates a new, immediate composite idea, the literal "not-peace" naturally evokes the abstract feeling of "unease" or "anxiety", picturing a mind or situation where tranquility is absent.
