The word 反正 is formed through the conceptual fusion of two opposing directional or positional states: 反 meaning "reverse" or "opposite side" and 正 meaning "upright" or "correct side". It metaphorically draws from the idea of something being flipped over or viewed from contrasting angles, ultimately merging these opposites into a single abstract concept that signifies "in any case" or "no matter what", implying that the outcome or conclusion remains the same regardless of which side or perspective one starts from.
