Definition
幅度 (fú dù) refers to the range, extent, or magnitude of change or variation (e.g., economic growth, price fluctuation). It differs from 范围 (fàn wéi) 'scope' and 程度 (chéng dù) 'degree'. In a physical sense, 幅度 can mean amplitude or width, similar to 宽度 (kuān dù), but is more common in abstract contexts.
