Definition
无穷 (wú qióng) is a verb meaning 'endless, boundless, inexhaustible', used for abstract concepts like potential, passion, or the universe. Unlike 无边无际 (wú biān-wú jì), which describes physical vastness (sky, desert), 无穷 emphasizes an inexhaustible quality. It also differs from 不已 (bù yǐ), which means 'incessantly' and attaches to verbs (e.g., 赞叹不已).
