The word 屡见不鲜 is formed by sequentially combining the characters 屡 (meaning "repeatedly"), 见 (meaning "see"), 不 (meaning "not"), and 鲜 (meaning "fresh"). The phrase structures a direct cause-and-effect relation where 屡见 ("often seen") leads to 不鲜 ("not fresh"), resulting in the literal meaning of "often seen, not fresh", which conveys that something is commonplace due to frequent exposure.
