Word origin

幅 (fú, "breadth") + 度 (dù, "degree") combine to express the measured spread or extent of a change.

Usage tips

  • This word describes the size of a change rather than an object's physical dimensions, so everyday discussions of prices or conditions use it for variation, not simple width.
