得体

• ピンイン: dé tǐ
• 漢字の分解: 得 = 彳 + 旦 + 寸 (to fit/obtain); 体 = 人 + 本 (body/manner)

意味

場にふさわしい／上品で適切

Emphasises social appropriateness and decorum. Widely used to evaluate conduct in formal or social settings — a key concept in Chinese etiquette. Distinct from 得当 (correct method) which focuses on outcomes rather than manners.
