How it's used
Refers to the internal arrangement or framework of something, whether physical like a building or abstract like a language or a company. It is a formal term often used in academic, technical, or professional contexts. While it can be used in daily speech, it sounds more precise and analytical than general words for shape or form.

Common mistake
Avoid using it to describe the physical appearance or surface look of an object, as it specifically focuses on the underlying framework or composition. For general physical appearance, use樣貌 or 外形 instead.
