Definition
庇 is a bound form (语素) that cannot stand alone as a word; it appears as a component in compounds meaning 'to shelter, protect, or shield'. Common words include 庇护 (bìhù) 'to give shelter', 包庇 (bāobì) 'to cover up (wrongdoing)', and 庇佑 (bìyòu) 'to bless/protect (by a deity)'. You won't use 庇 by itself — it always attaches to another character.
