毫不

• 병음: háo bù
• 한자 분석: 毫 = 高 (tall/high, phonetic) + 毛 (hair) — a fine hair as the smallest unit of measure; 不 = negation particle

뜻

조금도 ~않다; 전혀 ~않다(강조)

毫 means a single hair or one-thousandth of a unit, so 毫不 literally means 'not even by a hair's breadth.' More emphatic and literary than 一点也不 or 完全不. Used before adjectives (毫不犹豫 — without any hesitation), verbs (毫不在乎 — not caring at all), and abstract qualities. Formal and assertive in register.
