About

The word 废话 is formed by directly combining two meaningful characters: 废, which means "useless" or "waste", and 话, which means "speech" or "words". Their meanings fuse together conceptually to create a new, compound idea, literally "useless speech", that intuitively describes meaningless or superfluous talk. It’s a straightforward semantic blend where the first character modifies the second to express a common abstract concept.
