Word origin

无限 (wúxiàn, "infinite") combines 无 (wú, "without") + 限 (xiàn, "limit"), so it names what has no boundary or endpoint.

Usage tips

  • In conversation, this adjective can add strong emphasis to ideas such as possibility or patience, so it need not describe a mathematically measurable quantity.
