Definition in Chinese

Word origin

攀升 (pānshēng, "climb upward") combines 攀 (pān, "climb by grasping") and 升 (shēng, "rise"), so the compound turns the act of climbing into a description of successive upward movement.

Usage tips

  • Its formal, report-like tone suits headlines and market reports, while ordinary conversation may use more basic upward-movement wording.
