Definition
刊 is a bound form (b.f.) meaning 'to publish' or 'publication'. It appears as a morpheme in compounds like 刊物 (publication), 刊登 (to publish in a newspaper), 报刊 (newspapers and periodicals), and 周刊 (weekly magazine). It also carries an older sense of 'to delete or correct' (刊误) and historically 'to inscribe on stone or wood', but those are less common in modern usage.
