Definition
缅 is a literary bound form (b.f.) that appears mainly in formal or written compounds. Its core sense is 'remote' or 'far back in time', and you'll most often encounter it in two-character words like 缅怀 ('to recall/commemorate') and 缅甸 ('Myanmar'). It does not stand alone as an independent word in modern Chinese.
