Definition
疗 is a bound morpheme (bound form) meaning 'treatment' or 'cure'. It cannot stand alone as a verb; instead, it appears as a component in common compounds such as 治疗 (zhìliáo, treatment/therapy), 医疗 (yīliáo, medical treatment), 疗养 (liáoyǎng, to recuperate), and 疗程 (liáochéng, course of treatment). Understanding these combinations is essential for using the character correctly.
