About

The word 不错 is formed through a straightforward conceptual combination of its two component characters: 不, meaning "not", and 错, meaning "wrong" or "mistake". By directly negating the idea of being incorrect, the compound logically arrives at its core meaning of "not bad" or "correct", building its positive sense from the literal negation of a negative state.
