The Chinese word 过敏 (guò mǐn) is composed of two characters: 过 (guò) and 敏 (mǐn). The character 过 means "exceed" or "go beyond", while the character 敏 means "sensitive" or "quick to respond". Together, these two characters form the word 过敏, which literally means "over-sensitive" or "hyper-responsive". This term is used in Chinese to describe allergies, which are conditions in which the body overreacts to certain substances, such as pollen, dust, or certain foods.
