The word **无谓** (wúwèi) is formed through a logical combination of its two constituent characters: **无** (wú), meaning "without" or "lack of," and **谓** (wèi), meaning "to speak of," "to call," or "significance." Together, they create a concept meaning "pointless," "meaningless," or "unnecessary," as the compound literally suggests something that is "without (any) significance to speak of" or "not worth mentioning." This formation follows the common Chinese morphological pattern where an adverb-like modifier (无) negates or describes the following core concept (谓), resulting in an adjective that describes actions, arguments, or efforts that are futile, devoid of purpose, or make no sense.
