About

The word 否认 is formed by combining two characters: 否 (fǒu), which means "not" or conveys negation and denial, and 认 (rèn), which means "to recognize" or "to acknowledge". When placed together, they create a compound word where the meaning of the first character actively negates the action of the second, resulting in the concept of "to deny", literally, to not acknowledge or refuse to recognize something as true.
