How it's used
Primarily used in contexts involving the rapid, circular motion of a tool or utensil to blend ingredients, especially liquids like eggs or batter. While it can technically refer to hitting with a stick, its most common modern application is in cooking and kitchen preparation. It carries a sense of vigorous, repetitive movement that distinguishes it from simple stirring.

Common mistake
Learners often confuse this with 攪, which is a general term for stirring or mixing. 𢪎 specifically implies a faster, more intense, or circular whipping motion rather than just moving a spoon around.
