Definition
慧 is a bound morpheme (b.f.) meaning 'wisdom' or 'intelligence'. It cannot be used alone as a standalone word; instead, it appears in compounds like 智慧 (zhìhuì, 'wisdom'), 聪慧 (cōnghuì, 'intelligent'), and 慧眼 (huìyǎn, 'insightful vision'). Learners should not attempt to use 慧 by itself as a noun — use 智慧 instead.
