Definition
疑 is a bound form (不成词语素) that means 'doubt' or 'suspicion'. It rarely appears alone as a full word in modern Chinese and is found primarily in compound words such as 怀疑 (huáiyí, doubt/suspect), 可疑 (kěyí, suspicious), and 疑问 (yíwèn, question/doubt). When encountered as a standalone character, it usually carries a literary or classical tone.
