About

The word "说法" is formed by combining the character "说" (shuō), meaning "to speak" or "to say", with "法" (fǎ), meaning "law" or "method", where the verb "说" acts upon the noun "法" to create a compound that literally signifies "way of speaking" and concretely refers to a stated opinion, explanation, or version of events.
