How it's used
Functions primarily as a suffix in compound words to denote the extent or magnitude of a change. It is most commonly encountered in financial or statistical contexts when discussing trends. Unlike general words for scope, it specifically quantifies the difference between two points in a numerical series.
Examples
The range of increase is very large.

Common mistake
Learners often confuse this with the measure word 幅 used for flat objects like paintings or pictures. Remember that as a suffix for range, it is a bound morpheme and cannot stand alone as a noun in a sentence.
