泡沫

• 拼音: pào mò
• 汉字拆解: 泡 = 氵 + 包 (water bubble); 沫 = 氵 + 末 (water at the end, froth at the surface)

含义

Foam; bubble; froth; an economic bubble; something that appears substantial but is hollow and fragile.

Used both literally for physical foam or bubbles and metaphorically for financial or social phenomena that are inflated and unsustainable. 泡沫经济 (bubble economy) is a key term in economic discourse.
