秃 (tū) is an adjective that covers two distinct meanings that English splits into separate words: 'bald' (for hairless heads or animals) and 'blunt' (for tools that have lost their sharp edge). It can also be used metaphorically for something that is bare or incomplete, like a tree without leaves or an article that ends abruptly. When describing people, 秃 usually refers to hair loss on the scalp; for objects, it describes a worn or dull tip.
