Definition
趸 means 'to buy wholesale' or 'to purchase in bulk', typically used in commercial contexts. It often appears in the compound 趸货 (dǔn huò, 'to stock up goods in bulk') and pairs with 整批 (zhěng pī, 'whole batch'). Unlike the more general term 批发 (pī fā, 'wholesale'), 趸 emphasizes the act of buying a large quantity at once for resale.
