段落

• Pinyin: duàn luò
• Desglose de hanzi: 段 = 殳 (action) + compound — a demarcated section; 落 = 艹 (grass) + 洛 (phonetic) — to drop down and settle at a boundary

Significado

Párrafo. (También: etapa/fase, en sentido figurado.)

In writing, refers to a clearly demarcated paragraph or section. Figuratively, 告一段落 (to reach a stage of completion) is a very common expression signalling that one phase of work is done. Both senses appear frequently in academic, editorial, and professional contexts.
