保存

• 拼音: bǎo cún
• 汉字拆解: 保 = 亻(person) + 呆 (phonetic), meaning protect; 存 = 子 (child) + 才 (just), meaning to store or exist

To preserve; to save; to keep. To store something so it remains intact or usable.

Used for both digital contexts (saving files) and physical ones (preserving food, keeping documents). Also used for cultural preservation. Differs from 保持 in that 保存 emphasises storage rather than maintaining a state.
