How it's used
This term is the standard way to refer to the kitchen appliance used for ventilation. It is a compound word derived from 抽 (to extract), 油煙 (cooking fumes), and 機 (machine). While some might use the English loanword hood in casual speech, the full term is preferred in most contexts to avoid ambiguity.
