About

The word "也罢" is formed by combining the character "也", which in this context acts as an emphasizing adverb, with "罢", a verb meaning "to cease" that here functions as a sentence-final particle indicating resignation. Together, they create a fixed compound particle used to express acceptance or indifference, where "也" reinforces the concessive tone of "罢", effectively meaning "so be it" or "let it be".
