Definition
悯 (mǐn) is a literary word meaning compassion or pity, most commonly seen in the compound 怜悯 (lián mǐn, 'compassion'). As a standalone noun it appears in formal or classical-style writing. Note that the source dictionary gloss lists verb meanings ('to sympathize, to pity'), but the official POS for this entry is noun — a discrepancy flagged for review.
