干燥

• 拼音: gān zào
• 汉字拆解: 干 = 一 + 十 (dry, bare); 燥 = 火 + 喿 (parched — fire radical suggests heat-induced dryness)

含义

Dry; arid; lacking moisture. Describes a low-humidity state of the air, climate, skin, or materials.

Versatile adjective used for weather (空气干燥), materials (木材干燥), and skin (皮肤干燥). Unlike 干旱, 干燥 does not imply drought or disaster; it simply describes dryness. Can also be used figuratively for a dull or lifeless prose style (文风干燥).
