Definition
购得 is a compound verb formed by 购 (to purchase) + 得 (to obtain), meaning 'to succeed in purchasing' or 'to acquire by purchase'. It is more formal than 买 or 购买 and typically appears in written Chinese — news, business reports, legal documents — rather than casual conversation. The resultative 得 emphasizes that the purchase was successfully completed.
