About
The word 违法 (wéifǎ) is formed through the logical combination of two conceptual building blocks: the first character 违, which carries the core meaning of "to disobey" or "to go against", is placed directly before the second character 法, which represents the fixed concept of "law" or "legal principle". This formation creates a miniature conceptual sequence, where the action or state of "going against" is syntactically and semantically applied to "the law", resulting in the complete, unified meaning of "to be illegal" or "to violate the law". It is a direct and efficient semantic construction where the relationship between the parts inherently defines the whole.
