About

The word 免费 is formed by directly combining two meaningful characters: 免 (miǎn), which carries the core idea of "to exempt" or "to avoid", and 费 (fèi), which means "fee" or "expense". Their conceptual fusion is perfectly literal, creating the composite meaning of "exempt from a fee", which naturally equates to the modern sense of "free of charge" or "at no cost".
