Definition
御 (yù) is a bound form (b.f.) meaning 'to resist' or 'to ward off'. It is not used alone in modern spoken Chinese; instead, you'll find it in formal or literary compounds such as 防御 (fángyù 'defense'), 抵御 (dǐyù 'to resist'), and 御寒 (yùhán 'to keep out cold'). It functions as a verb-like element within these compounds.
