Definition
诠释 (quán shì) means 'to interpret' in a thorough, scholarly way — used for abstract concepts, texts, or art, implying deep analysis of meaning. It is more formal and academic than 解释 (jiě shì 'explain'), and more about interpreting meaning than 解读 (jiě dú 'decipher') or 阐释 (chǎn shì 'elucidate').
