Definition
违纪 is a verb-object compound (离合词) meaning 'to violate discipline' or 'to breach rules', typically used in institutional or workplace contexts (school, military, company). The verb 违 and object 纪 can separate when adding aspect markers, measure words, or duration: 违了纪 ('violated discipline'), 违过一次纪 ('once violated discipline'). The object 纪 cannot take a direct object — you say 违反纪律, not 违纪纪律.
