Definition
定型 is a separable verb (离合词) that means to finalize a design, fall into a fixed pattern, or standardize. The verb 定 ('to set') and object 型 ('type/shape') can split, so you can say 定了一个型 ('set a standard shape'). It's used in manufacturing, product design, personal behavior, and standardization processes.
