柔软

• Pinyin: róu ruǎn
• Desglose de hanzi: 柔 = 木 + 矛 (pliable wood); 软 = 车 (vehicle/cart) + 欠 (lacking/deficient) — a wheel without rigidity, hence soft

Significado

suave; flexible; maleable

Used for physical textures of fabrics, surfaces, bodies, and materials, as well as metaphorically for a gentle and accommodating disposition. 柔软 emphasises physical pliability more than 柔和 (which emphasises sensory gentleness). Common in product descriptions, fitness, and material science contexts.
