How it's used
Primarily used in construction, plumbing, and mechanical contexts to describe the physical point where two materials or components are joined. It carries a technical nuance, distinguishing it from more general terms for connection like 連接. When referring to the act of joining things together, the verb form 駁 is used instead.
