Definition
蓄 is a bound form (b.f.) that appears in compound words rather than as a standalone verb. It carries three main senses: storing or saving up (as in 储蓄 'to save money'), growing out hair or a beard (as in 蓄发 'to grow hair'), and harboring or entertaining an idea or intention (as in 蓄意 'deliberately, with intent'). You'll encounter it in formal or written Chinese, often in financial, personal grooming, or planning contexts.
