Definition
无由 is a classical Chinese-derived fixed phrase meaning 'have no way' or 'without reason'. It is used in formal or literary contexts, often before a verb to indicate inability or lack of justification. The standard pronunciation is wú yóu, though the source data lists mó — this is likely a data error.
