About

The word "非常" is formed by combining the character "非", which means "not" or "wrong", with "常", which means "usual" or "ordinary", to create the literal meaning of "not usual". This compound subsequently evolved to function as an adverb meaning "very" or "extremely", indicating a high degree by emphasizing a departure from the ordinary.
