Definition
缕缕 is a reduplicated form of 缕 (lǚ, 'thread' or 'strand'), used as a formal adverb meaning 'continuously, in strands, bit by bit'. It typically describes smoke, clouds, fragrance, or other wispy, thread-like things that rise or drift in an unbroken stream. You'll encounter it in literary or descriptive writing — it's not used in everyday conversation.
