Definition
宽度 (kuān dù) is the standard noun for 'width' as a measurable dimension (e.g., of a road, window). It differs from 宽 (kuān), which as a noun is more colloquial and often appears in compounds like 宽窄; and from 幅度 (fú dù), which refers to range or amplitude of change, not a simple physical width.
