Definition
僻 is a bound form (b.f.) meaning 'secluded, remote, out of the way'. It cannot stand alone as a word — it always appears as a morpheme in compound words like 偏僻 (remote), 僻静 (secluded and quiet), or 荒僻 (desolate and remote). You'll encounter it in geographic or descriptive contexts referring to places that are hard to access or far from city centers.
