About

The Chinese word "赦免" is formed by combining two characters: "赦", which conveys the idea of pardoning or forgiving, often in an official or legal context, and "免", which means to exempt, relieve, or remove. Together, these characters merge their individual meanings to create a compound word that specifically denotes the act of granting a pardon, such as absolving someone from punishment or guilt, reflecting a holistic concept where forgiveness leads to exemption.
