The word **难免 (nánmiǎn)** is formed by combining the character **难 (nán)**, meaning "difficult" or "hard," with **免 (miǎn)**, meaning "to avoid" or "to escape." Together, they create a compound adjective that literally translates to "hard to avoid," expressing the meaning of something being **inevitable, unavoidable, or bound to happen**. It is used to acknowledge an outcome or situation that is practically certain or to be expected under given circumstances, often carrying a tone of resigned acceptance.
