Meanings and usage

適, 合適

This character carries many classical senses (to go, to marry, to comply, to obtain, fitting/proper, by chance, a surname) under one Teochew reading; the 'suitable/fitting' sense was chosen as most relevant to the related compounds in this batch, but the character is mainly used bound in compounds rather than standalone.
