毫无

毫无 means 'completely none' or 'absolutely no.' It emphasizes the complete absence of something, often used to stress that there is not even a trace of a particular quality or condition.

The character 毫 (háo) originally meant a very fine hair or a tiny amount, while 无 (wú) means 'no' or 'not.' Together, they convey the idea of absolute absence, as if there's nothing at all.

毫無 is commonly used in formal and informal contexts to express that something is entirely lacking. For example, it might be used to say there's no chance of success, no evidence of something, or no feeling of regret. It is often paired with other words to create phrases like 毫無疑問 (without a doubt) or 毫無辦法 (no way to do something).
