Definition
摺 is a bound form (b.f.), meaning it never stands alone — it always attaches to another character to form a compound word. Its core meanings revolve around folding and folded items: you'll see it in words like 摺叠 (zhédié, to fold), 摺扇 (zhéshàn, folding fan), and 摺子 (zhézi, a folded booklet or account book). As a bound morpheme, you cannot use 摺 by itself; always pair it with another morpheme.
