exemption
This word carries a formal, legalistic tone, often associated with bureaucracy, taxes, or institutional rules. It implies a specific permission or a legal loophole that allows an individual to bypass a standard requirement without facing penalty. While a waiver might be a voluntary relinquishing of a right, an exemption is typically a recognized status that protects someone from a burden. It suggests a targeted exception based on a specific qualification or hardship rather than a general change in the law.
Countable when referring to a specific legal allowance (a tax exemption). Uncountable when referring to the general state of being exempt (the exemption of certain goods from duty).
Ý nghĩa
