十足 (shí zú) — fully sufficient; complete; hundred percent; (of a color) pure, unmixed
Definition
十足 is a pre-noun adjective emphasizing 100% authenticity or full degree (十足的信心 'utter confidence', 十足的骗局 'out-and-out scam'). Unlike 十分 (an adverb, 'very'), it modifies nouns directly; 纯/纯粹 cover the color/purity sense.
