Definition
醇 (chún) is a stative verb that describes the mellow, rich quality of wine or alcohol, and in written Chinese also means 'pure, unmixed' (often in compounds like 醇厚, 纯净). As a chemical term, 醇 is a noun meaning 'alcohol' (e.g., 乙醇 'ethanol'), but this noun sense is outside the stative-verb POS listed here. Be careful to use it only as an adjective/verb in your own sentences.
