About
The word 甚至 is formed through a conceptual combination where the first character 甚, meaning "extreme" or "to exceed", is intensified by the second character 至, meaning "to arrive" or "to reach". The compound thus visually and notionally constructs the idea of "reaching an extreme point" or "arriving at a surpassing degree", metaphorically conveying a sense of pushing an example or argument to its furthest limit to emphasize a point.
