How it's used
Refers specifically to the whorls or patterns on the fingertips rather than the entire handprint. While technically accurate, it is less common in casual speech than the compound 指紋, which is the standard term for fingerprints in almost all contexts.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the more common term 指紋, which is used in all formal and most informal situations. Using 腡 might sound slightly old-fashioned or dialectal to some speakers.
