Definition
卸载 (xièzài) means 'to unload' physical cargo or 'to uninstall' software. It is the full two-character verb for both senses. Its sibling 卸 (xiè) is the shorter, more versatile single character used in compounds like 卸货 (unload goods) or 卸妆 (remove makeup), but 卸载 is the standard word for unloading cargo from vehicles or uninstalling apps.
