Definition
充足 (chōngzú) means 'sufficient, adequate' — enough to meet a need, typically used for concrete supplies (resources, evidence, sunlight). It contrasts with 充分 (chōngfèn), which emphasizes thoroughness and is used more for abstract things like preparation or reason. 充裕 (chōngyù) implies an extra margin of plenty, often for time or money.
