About
The word 绝对 is formed by combining the character 绝, which originally meant "to cut off" or "to sever", and thus conveys a sense of "utterly" or "completely", with the character 对, which means "opposite" or "facing". Together, they create a concept where something is so complete or definitive that it excludes all opposition or contradiction, leading to the meaning "absolute" or "definitely".
