About

The word "不折不扣" is formed by the sequential pairing of two negative verb phrases, "不折" (not discount) and "不扣" (not deduct), where the repetition of the negator "不" before each action verb creates a parallel structure that intensifies the meaning to convey absolute adherence or completeness without reduction.
