About
The Chinese idiom "不落俗套" is formed by sequentially combining the character "不" (not), which negates what follows, with "落" (to fall into), establishing a verb phrase, then "俗" (common or conventional), which modifies "套" (set pattern or mold), resulting in a literal meaning of "not falling into the conventional pattern" that functions as a fixed expression denoting originality.
