About

The word 例外 is formed by directly combining the character 例, meaning "example" or "established rule", with the character 外, meaning "outside". Conceptually, it creates the idea of something that stands "outside the example" or "outside the rule", visually and logically framing the notion of an exception as something that exists beyond the boundary of a given standard or norm.
