About

The word 涉嫌 is formed through the metaphorical combination of two characters: 涉, which means "to involve oneself in" or "to wade into" (like entering water), and 嫌, which means "suspicion" or "doubt". Together, they create a vivid conceptual image of a person "stepping into" or "becoming involved in" a sphere of suspicion, effectively capturing the idea of being under a cloud of alleged wrongdoing without a formal conclusion.
