傅 (fù) is a bound morpheme (b.f.) that cannot stand alone as a word; it appears in compounds. The most common use is in 师傅 (shīfu, 'master, skilled worker'), but it also appears in historical titles like 太傅 (tàifù, 'grand tutor') and in literary expressions like 傅粉 (fùfěn, 'apply powder'). It is also a common surname.
