About

The word 犯法 is formed by combining two characters, each contributing a clear conceptual piece to create a new, unified idea. The first character, 犯, carries the core meaning of "to violate" or "to transgress". The second character, 法, represents the concept of "law" or "legal rules". Their combination is not merely a sequence but a direct conceptual fusion, where the action of the first is logically and immediately applied to the object of the second, yielding the complete meaning of "to break the law".
