• 병음: diǎn zhuì
• 한자 분석: 点 = 黑 + 占 (dot, light touch); 缀 = 糸 + 叕 (to stitch on, to embellish)

뜻

장식하다; 포인트를 주다

Used both literally (flowers adorning a garden, accessories on a garment) and figuratively (a few anecdotes embellishing a speech). Implies that the elements added are relatively minor but contribute to the beauty or completeness of the whole. Often used in literary descriptions.
