Definition
修脚 is both a noun meaning 'pedicure (the service)' and a verb-object phrase meaning 'to get a pedicure' or 'to have one's feet treated'. As a separable verb (离合词), the verb 修 can separate from its object 脚 when inserting measure words, duration, or frequency: e.g., 修了一次脚 ('had a pedicure once'). This is a common service in Chinese foot-care shops and massage parlors.
