Definition
病症 (bìng zhèng) is a formal, medical term for 'disease' or 'illness,' often used in clinical or diagnostic contexts to refer to a specific disease entity. It is more technical than the everyday word 病 (bìng), and similar in register to 疾病 (jí bìng), though 病症 can emphasize the manifestation or case of a disease.
