Definition
诽 is a bound morpheme (bound form) meaning 'to slander' or 'to defame'. It does not appear alone in modern Chinese; you must combine it with another character, most commonly in the verb 诽谤 (fěibàng 'to slander/defame') and less often in 诽闻 (fěiwén 'scandal, gossip'). When you encounter this character, expect it to be part of a two-character word.
