Definition
无恙 is a formal verb phrase meaning 'safe and sound' or 'in good health'. It is most commonly encountered in the polite greeting 别来无恙 ('Have you been well since we last met?'), and in the set phrase 安然无恙 ('safe and unharmed'). Unlike the everyday word 健康, 无恙 carries a slightly literary or classical tone and is typically used in written or formal speech.
