Word origin
排放 (páifàng, "to release outward") combines 排 (pái, "push out") with 放 (fàng, "let go"), forming a verb for sending material from a system into the open.
Usage tips
- The word commonly takes the released material as its object, so naming that material makes everyday statements more precise.
