About

The word "没关系" is formed by combining the character 没, meaning "not" or "without", with the characters 关 and 系, which together as 关系 mean "connection" or "relationship". This creates a literal meaning of "no connection", which functions as a fixed phrase to express "it doesn't matter" or "never mind", directly deriving from the negation of a relevant association.
