Definition
归属 (guīshǔ) is a formal verb meaning 'to belong to' or 'to be under the jurisdiction of', often used in legal, organizational, or ultimate-ownership contexts. It is more formal than the everyday equivalent 属于 (shǔyú) and carries a sense of final or proper affiliation. Unlike 归于 (guīyú), which can also mean 'to be attributed to', 归属 emphasizes belonging or jurisdiction.
