明 (míng, "clear") + 细 (xì, "fine") combines the ideas of clarity and fine detail into a word for showing each part separately.

Usage tips

  • In everyday billing, it contrasts with a single total: each charge, quantity, or service appears separately, so it is the word to look for when a receipt or invoice needs checking.
