Definition
劳 as a bound form (b.f.) means 'to encourage, console' — it always appears in compound words like 慰劳 (wèiláo, 'to show appreciation for someone's hard work') or 劳军 (láojūn, 'to cheer the troops'). It cannot stand alone as a full word; you'll encounter it in formal or written contexts where someone is being recognized or rewarded for their efforts.
