Word origin

血型 (xuèxíng, "blood type") combines 血 (xuè, "blood") with 型 (xíng, "type"), making a term for a blood classification.

Usage tips

  • A letter such as A usually identifies the ABO category, while the Rh factor is recorded separately, so a full medical description can contain more than the letter alone.
