Definition
辗 is a bound form (b.f.) meaning 'to roll over' and is primarily used in the compound 辗转 (zhǎnzhuǎn), which can mean 'to toss about (in bed)' or 'to pass through many hands or places'. It also appears in the four-character idiom 辗转反侧 (toss and turn restlessly). As a bound form, it cannot stand alone as an independent word.
