Word origin

无线 (wúxiàn, "wireless") combines 无 (wú, "without") + 线 (xiàn, "line or wire"), directly naming transmission without a physical wire.

Usage tips

  • The word does not by itself identify whether a connection uses Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or another method, so the surrounding noun and context supply that detail.
