The Chinese word 没收 (měishōu) means "to confiscate" or "to seize". It is composed of two characters: 没 (méi), which means "not" or "without", and 收 (shōu), which means "to receive" or "to collect". The original meaning of 没收 was "to take away without giving anything in return", and it was later extended to mean "to confiscate" or "to seize". The word 没收 is often used in legal contexts, such as when the government confiscates property that has been used in a crime. It can also be used in a more general sense, such as when a parent confiscates a child's toy as punishment.
