Definition
折衷 is a common variant of 折中 (zhé zhōng) and means 'to compromise' or 'a compromise'. It can be used as a verb (indicating the action of reaching a middle ground) or a noun (the resulting agreement). Although the dictionary points to 折中 as the main entry, 折衷 is equally acceptable in modern writing.
