How it's used
Beyond its technical use in physics, this term is frequently used metaphorically to describe someone who is completely detached or unaffected by a certain trend or social circle. You might hear someone say they are 絕緣於某個圈子 to mean they have no connection or involvement with that group. It carries a sense of being isolated or shielded from external influences.
Examples
