稍微

The Chinese word "稍微" is composed of two characters: "稍" and "微". The character "稍" originally meant "a little" or "slightly", and was often used in ancient Chinese texts to indicate a small amount or degree. The character "微" originally meant "fine" or "subtle", and was often used to describe something that is delicate or barely noticeable. When these two characters are combined to form "稍微", the meaning becomes "slightly" or "a little bit". It is often used to describe something that is not very significant or important, or to indicate a small change or difference. For example, we can say "天气稍微变冷了" (The weather has become a little colder) or "他稍微迟到了" (He was a little late).
