行家

• 병음: háng jia
• 한자 분석: 行 = crossroads pictograph — indicates movement/trade; 家 = 宀 (roof) + 豕 (pig) — household, expert in a domain

뜻

노련한 전문가; 실무 고수; 감정가/통달한 사람

Unlike 专家 (academic expert/specialist), 行家 emphasises practical, hands-on mastery typically accumulated through years of experience rather than formal education. Common in antique appraisal, business, crafts, and trade contexts. 行家里手 (skilled practitioner) intensifies the meaning. The character 行 here is pronounced háng (trade/profession), not xíng (to walk).
