The word "好不容易" is formed by placing the intensifier "好" before the negated phrase "不容易" (meaning "not easy"). In this construction, "好" does not retain its literal meaning of "good" but instead emphasizes the degree of difficulty expressed by "不容易", resulting in a fixed phrase that conveys "with great difficulty" or "very hard to achieve". The characters are arranged sequentially as 好 (intensifier) + 不 (negation) + 容易 (easy), where the negation modifies "容易", and the intensifier amplifies the entire concept.
