Definition
溃 is a bound form (b.f.) that appears in compound words. In standard Mandarin the common pronunciation is kuì, though this entry lists huì. The primary senses are related to breaking or bursting: (of a dam) to burst, (of an army) to be routed, (of a wound) to fester or ulcerate. You'll see it in compounds like 溃堤 (dam burst), 溃败 (total defeat), and 溃烂 (festering). It cannot be used alone.
