How it's used

This term is formal and precise, often appearing in professional, legal, or administrative contexts where accuracy is paramount. It implies a systematic approach to reviewing or processing a list, rather than just looking at the whole. It is rarely used in casual, everyday conversation unless discussing specific tasks or contracts.

Common phrases

to list item by item
to audit or review item by item

Common mistake

Learners sometimes confuse this with 逐個, which is used for counting individual people or objects. 逐項 specifically refers to items on a list, points in an argument, or clauses in a document.
