Intangible describes something that you cannot touch or hold with your hands, but that is still real and can be very important. Trust, a good reputation, happiness, and knowledge are all intangible — you cannot pick them up, but they clearly exist and have value. It is often used in business to talk about things a company owns that are not physical objects, like its brand name.
無形的（例如信任、感覺、品牌價值等）
組成in- (not) + tangible (able to be touched, from a Latin word for 'touch').
