Definition
流行性 is a noun meaning 'epidemic' or 'epidemic nature', used in medical and public health contexts to describe the characteristic of a disease spreading rapidly through a population. It often appears in compounds like 流行性感冒 (influenza) and 流行性腮腺炎 (mumps). Unlike the adjective 流行 ('popular, fashionable'), 流行性 specifically refers to the epidemiological property of a disease.
