混浊

• 拼音: hùn zhuó
• 汉字拆解: 混 = 氵+ 昆 (water radical + blend, murky); 浊 = 氵+ 虫 (water radical + insect/creature, suggesting contamination — the presence of living organisms in water indicating turbidity)

含义

Turbid; murky or cloudy; not clear or pure. Describes liquids or air that are polluted or opaque, and figuratively, a morally corrupt or chaotic environment.

It carries a stronger connotation of contamination than 清澈 (clear) or 纯净 (pure) as its antonyms.
