Definition
不仅仅 means 'not only' and is used as a conjunction to introduce the first of two related points, often paired with 而且, 还, 也, or 更 in the second clause to emphasize that something goes beyond what is expected. It strengthens the contrast and is more emphatic than 不仅 alone. The structure is typically '不仅仅 + A, (而且/还/也) + B', where B adds a further reason or aspect.
