Origin

The character 平 means level, even, or flat. It contains the semantic component 二 (two), the phonetic component 釆 (to distinguish; to discriminate), and the component 八 (eight) and 亏 (exhaled air).

An represents calm, peaceful, tranquil, or quiet, consisting of the semantic component 宀 (a type of deep house with walls on all four sides, a roof, a main hall…) and the phonetic component 女₂ (a seated 女 on a cushion). The character 無 means to not have, there is not, or there does not exist. Finally, 事 refers to a thing or matter; its components include 又 (again; once more) and 中 (middle; center).

此外，「無」意指 to not have、there is not 或 there does not exist。「事」意指 thing 或 matter，其組成包含部件「又」以及「中」。這四個字共同構成此詞，用以描述平安無事的情況。
