Definition
访 is a bound morpheme (b.f.) that cannot stand alone — you'll always see it as part of a compound. Its two core senses are 'to visit / call on' (in 访问, 拜访) and 'to seek by inquiry / investigate' (in 采访, 查访). Remember: since 访 is a bound form, you can't use it as a standalone verb; always attach it to another morpheme.
