Origin

The Chinese phrase 不過意, meaning to feel apologetic or to feel sorry, is formed from three characters: 不, 過, and 意. The character 不 means not, un-, in-, il-, im-, or ir-. The character 意 means wish, desire, or intention.

The character 過 means to cross, to pass, to go across, or to pass through. It is composed of the semantic component 辵, meaning to walk for a while and be still for a while, and the phonetic component 咼, meaning slanting. The component 辵 is further composed of 彳, meaning to walk slowly, and 止, meaning foot. The phonetic component 咼 contains the semantic component 口, meaning mouth, especially the lips and internal mouth cavity, and the phonetic component 冎, meaning bone.

「不過意」是由三個漢字組成。其中「不」表示否定；「過」有穿過、經過或通過之意；「意」則表示願望、欲望或意圖。

在字形結構上，「過」字結合了表示意義的「辵」部與表示聲音的「咼」部。其中「辵」由「彳」（緩慢行走）與「止」（腳）組成，意指走走停停。而「咼」字則包含表示意義的「口」與表示聲音的「冎」。

整個詞組透過「不」、「過」與「意」三個字構成，用以表達內心的歉疚感。
