Definition
址 is a bound morpheme meaning 'site, location, or foundation'. It does not appear alone in modern Chinese — you will always see it as part of common compound nouns like 地址 (address), 遗址 (historical site / ruins), and 旧址 (old site / former location). Knowing these compounds is more useful than memorizing the bound form in isolation.
