About

The Chinese word "从没" is formed by the direct combination of two characters: "从", which conveys the sense of "from" or "since", and "没", which means "not" or "without". This fusion merges the temporal inception implied by "从" with the negation denoted by "没", creating a unified concept that indicates the absence of an action or state from a specific point onward, effectively crystallizing into the meaning of "never" through their intertwined semantic contributions.
